Maybe it’s my California roots or my salad-obsessed mother, but I could live on salad. These bowls are tossed rather than the ingredients arranged like a pie chart in the current grain-bowl style, because I want to make sure the dressing coats every last particle in the salad. These are the ideal bowls to take to work or to a picnic or potluck, because they’re all dressed and ready to go, meant to be served at room temperature, and, because they’re made with crunchy veggies like cabbage, broccolini, and carrots, they don’t wilt over time. So get ready to welcome grain salads into your life and say goodbye to the sad desk lunch.
