Classic with a Twist
Adding hearty grains gives this salad texture and phenomenal taste to a classic comfort salad.
There are many ways to enjoy this combination, whether wrapped in lettuce leaves or eaten by itself with a fork. It’s a perfect light main or a great side dish for your next outdoor BBQ or picnic.
This salad also keeps well for up to 5 days in your refrigerator so that you can use it as a meal prep option or as a side with dinners throughout the week.
If you like this salad’s sound but are seriously short on time, substitute our microwavable Ready to Serve White Rice for some extra flavour. Enjoying quality and delicious meals isn’t synonymous with spending hours in the kitchen!
If you want to add more protein to each serving, add a can of tuna or salmon or add an extra hard-boiled egg or two to this dish. If you want a dairy-free option, you can also try this recipe using mashed avocado instead of mayonnaise.
