Lentil and Grain Salad

This is one of my favorite solutions to “what’s for lunch?” Toss cooked lentils and whole grain with some shredded or chopped vegetables, a bit of fresh or dried fruit, crunchy nuts or seeds, and a good vinaigrette – voila! What’s for lunch is solved! Here’s one combination you can try.
