In all my busyness, I have not participated in The Salad Bar challenge in a few months, but I did manage to make a wonderful salad for their Great Grains theme this month. This salad has lots of flavor and is filling enough to be a main dish. You can serve it warm, room temperature or cold. I prefer it to be room temperature, but eat it how you like it. It combines some of the ingredients you traditionally find with barely – beef and mushrooms with tomatoes and vinaigrette to make a yummy winter salad. It serves 4-6 as a side dish or 2 as a main dish.

This looks incredible! Simple and healthy.
Using beef high in omega 3’s could make this even healthier, and more delicious!
