GREAT GRAIN SALAD
I can't think of a better dish to round out a meal. My grain salad features all my favorite nuts, seeds and fruits. Try adding grilled chicken to make it a meal on its own. -Rachel Dueker, Gervais, Oregon

GRAIN SALAD
Rather than cook the grains on the stove, Ree's tip is to use microwavable pre-cooked grains, to get this dish on the table in a matter of minutes.

Steps:
- For the dressing: Add the oil, vinegar, Dijon, honey, oregano and garlic to a mason jar. Pop on the lid and give it a good shake to combine and emulsify. Set aside.
- For the salad ingredients: Add the baby kale to a large bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Add 2 tablespoons of the dressing and toss to coat. Transfer to a serving platter. Add the grain blend to the bowl. Top with the roasted peppers, olives, banana peppers and half of the goat cheese. Add half of the remaining dressing, reserving the rest for another time, and toss to combine. Garnish the salad with the remaining goat cheese, then the basil and parsley.
BIG SALAD WITH GRAINS
There's no true recipe for a big salad, but for this robust green meal, you will want to keep a few rules in mind. Skip the soft lettuces, which tend to get squashed in a big salad, and start with sturdier greens, like kale or escarole. Add fruits and vegetables, a protein, like a hard-boiled egg, and a starch or two. You want a total of six to eight ingredients, before toppings. Too few, and it could get boring; too many, and the bowl gets crowded and confusing. Finish it off with a substantial dressing, like avocado, yogurt or tahini, and add a couple of toppings, like chives or chopped nuts. Serve with a side of whole-grain bread for a filling and healthy meal.
