Tips and Warnings

  • Alternative dressing option: Maple Balsamic; 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon stone ground mustard, 3 teaspoons apple cider, ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • We used premade wild rice and a premade farro. Most grocery stores sell frozen or premade packaged grains that make for an easy dinner. Feel free to make your own grains at home, know that it will add time.
  • If you are meal-prepping this meal, we recommend storing all components in separate air-tight containers.
