Notes

This makes a BIG batch, so you can always halve it for individual use  If you find the salad too dry, whip up another half batch of dressing!

I know not all of these grains/beans can be found canned, but for the most part I consider this a super simple salad. Whether you go the from-scratch route, or the canned route, you will not regret your decisions! This will be coming out all autumn long!
