SPANISH STYLE RICE & GRAIN SALAD
This quick and easy salad using one of Merchant Gourmet's convenient grain pouches is perfect for plant based eaters, and anyone else as an accompaniment, after work. I like to serve this with a seared piece of salmon but it works equally well with chickpeas or grilled halloumi. The perfect after work pick me up!
