Greens & Grains: The Salad Recipe That Has Won Our Hearts

Occasionally we get stuck on a certain genre of food. In the wintertime, it's usually soup, lasagna, stews or something equally as warm and comforting. This winter, however, has been a little different. This has been the winter of the greens and grain salad recipe.

Greens and grain salads are endlessly versatile, because there are more possible combinations than we can even fathom. Kale and bulger, escarole and barley, freekeh and arugula, farro and spinach and beyond. Yes, you can even have quinoa, if you insist. Above all, let's not forget the OG of greens and grains: tabbouleh. These can be super healthy, dressed with just lemon, olive oil and salt and pepper, or you can get crazy and toss your ingredients in Green Goddess dressing (like we can't stop doing), add in feta or grilled halloumi, even bacon. If you're already getting tired of your New Year's resolution to eat more greens, let grains come to your rescue.
