Beets and Grains with Walnuts

Simple ingredients make a satisfying dish in this easy recipe. Pre-roast the beets and boil the wheat berries earlier in the week for a really quick meal. Add the beet greens if you like, or save them for another dish. Quinoa or pasta works well in place of the wheat berries, if you prefer.

Ingredients

• 1 bunch beets, roasted, peeled and diced
• 1 large handful parsley, finely chopped
• 1 handful walnuts, roughly chopped
• 1/2 bunch green onions or baby leeks, thinly sliced
• 2 cups cooked grains
• 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1-2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• Salt to taste

Directions

Mix together all ingredients, seasoning to taste. Let sit for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Serve warm, or as a cold salad. Garnish with whole parsley leaves.
