What it is

How people cook with it
This versatile salad mix can be enjoyed in a variety of ways, serving as a base for meals or a flavorful side dish.
- As a side dish to grilled meats

To prepare, simply open the package and serve. For a more enhanced flavor, you can gently warm the salad in a pan over medium heat for a few minutes. This can soften the grains slightly and bring out the natural sweetness of the kale. Consider adding your favorite dressing, a squeeze of lemon juice, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts and seeds to customize the taste and texture. It pairs well with a variety of proteins and other vegetables.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike simpler grain salads that might focus on one or two grains, this blend offers a more complex texture and flavor profile due to the variety of nine distinct grains. The inclusion of kale also differentiates it from many grain-only mixes, adding a fresh, leafy green element.
