Say you’re going to a summer potluck, picnic, or barbecue. What do you bring? For me, the answer is always a grain salad. Not only can it be made completely ahead, but it holds up beautifully and tastes even better the next day. Plus, it’s easy to customize because the flavor combinations are virtually endless; grains are like a blank canvas, so they go well with just about any ingredient. And best of all, the method couldn’t be simpler.

首先，烹饪您选择的谷物（以下更多内容）。您可以选择一个熟悉的米饭或大麦，也可以尝试一些更不寻常的东西，例如法罗或拼写。接下来，将醋搅拌均匀，可随着您选择的醋，柑橘汁或芳香剂而变化。最后，准备您最喜欢的加载项成分。亚搏手机版官方新鲜的蔬菜或水果和草药至关重要，但是您也可以尝试使用奶酪，干果，豆类和坚果。将它们扔在一起，您有一种美味可口的沙拉，这是对任何夏季餐的理想贡献。

Be sure to add enough vinaigrette when tossing your salad. An under-dressed grain salad will be dry and short on flavor.

Put the cooked and cooled grains in a large serving bowl and toss to break up any clumps. Add the add-ins,fresh herbs您选择的（请参阅下面的选项），以及1/2 cup vinaigrette和toss. Taste and season as needed with more vinaigrette, salt, and pepper. Serve or refrigerate for up to 1 day (let sit at room temperature so it’s not refrigerator-cold and season with more vinaigrette, salt, and pepper before serving).

It’s best just slightly chilled or at room temperature. Taste and adjust the seasoning before serving to be sure the salad is flavorful and bright.
