Good morning readers!  My post is short this morning… Steve and I have been traveling for nearly three weeks and I’m trying to get this post finished before my timed session expires at the Los Angeles airport.  Waiting for our flight home!  Now for the main event…

Adding grains to salads is a great way to make them a meal as well as boost nutrition.

This Chickpea, Barley and Feta Salad with Toasted Spice Vinaigrette posted today travels well making it a great option for picnics or potlucks and it makes a terrific filling lunch.

Try your hand experimenting with this recipe.  Choosing different  grains will vary the texture and many fresh herbs will easily replace the dill… Let your creativity flow 🙂

With the grain… Thanks for visiting Palatable Life.

Be inspired,

Diane
