Introduction
Quinoa is not the only grain I eat for lunch. I love brown rice, wild rice and basmati too. I often purposely cook more rice than I need, so that I have leftovers to play with. If you’re precooking grains to be used in a cold salad, remember to cool the cooked grains as quickly as possible and store them in the fridge until you need them. It is true that making this Three-Grain Salad means being prepared. But if you can do a little planning and have all of the ingredients to hand, I promise it will be worth your while.
