Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked grains farro, wheatberries, freekah, brown rice, etc
  • 4 fresh apricots and/or peaches cut in half and grilled
  • 1 cup walnuts toasted and chopped
  • 4 cups fresh leafy greens watercress, spinach, kale
  • 4 oz goat cheese crumbled
  • 2 tbsp honey more to taste
  • 4 tbsp balsamic reduction more to taste
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook grains per package instructions.

  2. Prepare balsamic reduction sauce if you don't already have on hand. (see notes in blog post)

  3. While grains and/or balsamic reduction are cooking, wash/prep your greens and toast your walnuts (350 degrees in the oven for approx. 8 min or in a pan on the stovetop over medium heat).
  4. About 10 minutes before you're ready to eat, cut apricots/peaches in half and put cut side down on stovetop grill. Grill on medium until juicy and grill marks appear on the cut side. Flip them over on the other side for just a minute or two to warm. This takes about 8 min.
  5. Combine everything in a bowl: grains, greens, fruit, cheese and nuts.
  6. Drizzle with balsamic reduction and honey to taste. Season with salt and pepper.
