A healthy grain salad that's packed with summer vegetables! This salad makes a great side dish with grilled meats or fish or can be eaten as a main!
Ingredients
1 cup grain of choice or a mix (I used an organic mix that contained brown rice, spelt, durum wheat, and barley)
1 small yellow zucchini, chopped into bite size pieces
1 small green zucchini, chopped into bite size pieces
1 cup cherry tomatoes
1/4 onion, sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1/4 cup feta, crumbled
1 1/2 teaspoons dry oregano
juice of 1/4 lemon
salt and pepper to taste
Directions
1. Cook grain or grains according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
2. Preheat oven to 400F. While grains are cooking, toss chopped zucchinis, onion and cherry tomatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and roast in the oven for approximately 25 minutes. Let cool.
3. In a large bowl, add cooked grains, roasted vegetables, feta, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, oregano and salt and pepper. Toss to combine.
