SPINACH AND ENDIVE SALAD WITH KASHA AND MUSHROOMS



Spinach and Endive Salad With Kasha and Mushrooms image

Kasha is not the main ingredient here, so I wouldn't call this a grain salad, but rather a substantial leafy green salad with grain. I love pairing this nutty grain with both cooked and raw spinach, and with walnuts and walnut oil. Kasha also goes well with foods that have a bitter edge, like endive, so I included some in the salad.
