I love how you've laid out the steps so succinctly... that's exactly what I do but I'm not sure I could have saidit so clearly. My big recommendation for would-be kitchen improv-ers is to read cookbooks. Lots and lots of them. Whether you think you will cook out of them or not, read them! Then you can begin to understand themes and common ingredient combinations and common recipe formats. <br />Great salad! I might try that this summer!Alysshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04820396354932192545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17422713.post-38929299608243871392009-05-20T08:20:31.628-04:002009-05-20T08:20:31.628-04:00Hi Christinekm,

I like the idea of a grain salad, but I'm always hesitant. This sounds great and I'll certainly be giving it a spin, even though I'm not that big on the almonds... who knows, maybe I'll come up with another way!<br /><br />On the topic of salads, whether hot or cold, I was in at Trader Joe's once last summer and they made a delightful quinoa salad with roasted corn and a vegetable melange! Do you have anything of the sort you've tried? Thanks a ton!

Yes, I buy Russian buckwheat. All Russian stores carry it, but if you are in the Boston area, you can also check out Eastern Lamejun Bakers in Belmont (that's where I buy it since it's 2 minutes from my house). <br /><br />Cheers,<br />-HelenHelenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12271344371852988017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17422713.post-55464815073596197442009-04-20T21:30:00.000-04:002009-04-20T21:30:00.000-04:00Where do you get your buckwheat?

I tried buying the stuff they have at Harvest coop, but it is disgusting - some of it turns into instant mush no matter how gently you cook it, and it tastes grassy (under-roasted?). <br /><br />Do I need to go to a Russian grocery?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12319739685576411734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17422713.post-8300803801358199762009-04-20T15:43:00.000-04:002009-04-20T15:43:00.000-04:00~M: here are some other gluten-free salads you mig...~M: here are some other gluten-free salads you might like: <A HREF="http://beyondsalmon.blogspot.com/2006/02/fish-salad-with-forbidden-rice.html" REL="nofollow">Fish salad with forbidden rice</A> and <A HREF="http://beyondsalmon.blogspot.com/2007/09/tuna-salad-with-quinoa-and-tomatillos.html" REL="nofollow">Tuna salad with quinoa and tomatillos</A>Lydia: I am totally wish you about fish.

I love to grill a side of salmon, and then use it in salads all week.

Since I'm gluten-free, we make a lot of quinoa salads and some with brown rice and brown/wild rice mix. The NY Times recently ran a recipe on a Thai quinoa salad (intended as Passover-friendly), with mango, jalapeno, red onion, lemon juice, oil...we added an avocado too. It was SO good, especially because I only used about half to 2/3s of the recommended quinoa, and kept the proportions of the remaining ingredients true to the recipe. Susan V. of Fat Free Vegan also has a phenomenal International Quinoa Salad that is fabulous (she has lots of great quinoa recipes!). You might also like the idea of Simply Gluten Free's (grainless) spoon salad.~Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05022756326428884844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17422713.post-30585337230947675502009-04-17T12:32:00.000-04:002009-04-17T12:32:00.000-04:00I love the thought that went into creating the Bar...I love the thought that went into creating the Barley Almond Salad.
