Granola Salad #SundaySupper

What did you think of when you saw “Granola Salad” as my post today?

When I named it I thought this wheatberry salad looked a lot like granola. It has a lot of the same ingredients. You’ll find bits of dried apricots, craisins, sunflower seeds and pistachios among the wheatberries and soy nuts. Sweet, crunchy and satisfying.

Granola, right? Well, not exactly.
This whole grain salad makes a great picnic side dish. I love the color! Specks of red, orange, and green dot the brown canvas of grains and seeds.

 

Granola Salad
The warmer weather is slowly creeping in here. My lawn is getting greener and I have that itch to be outside.

Our Sunday Supper group hails from around the world where for some, it’s picnic weather all the time!
So today we are celebrating the start of picnic season. A spring picnic before the bugs wake up and the heat and humidity set in seems kind of nice, doesn’t it?
Thanks T.R. from Gluten Free Crumbley for hosting our picnic! now can someone pass me a napkin?
