I have a confession to make. This salad is indeed titled \u201charvest grain salad\u201d but the only \u201cgrain\u201d is quinoa\u2026 which actually isn\u2019t even a grain, it\u2019s a seed. But if you\u2019re like me, you still treat it like a grain in most dishes so here we are! \u201cHarvest seed salad\u201d sounds like a much sadder recipe.<\/span><\/p>\n

In truth, this recipe is based off one I found in a very old Trader Joe’s cookbook when I was in college. C and I used to make it all the time and the recipe kind of stuck to memory. The only problem? We were living in Canada and didn’t have access to the Trader Joe’s Harvest Grain Blend. And so we decided to swap with quinoa and that’s how this harvest grain salad was born!<\/p>\n

These days I laugh because there’s nothing “harvest” about this recipe but it’s just too darn good not to share. So here I am having butchered the recipe\u00a0 but in other ways having made is so much better.<\/p>\n

If you really would prefer grains, you can swap in any type of grain in place of the quinoa. I love it with couscous and orzo but the options really are endless. Have some fun!<\/span><\/p>\n
