Caprese salad is a classic recipe with fresh tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and basil. This version adds a little brown rice and quinoa for a heartier salad. The honey balsamic dressing gives the dish a lightly sweet and tangy flavor. It's delicious and will be great for a picnic or even a dinner party.

This salad was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably wouldn't make it again.

I was disappointed with this salad. The tomatoes were bland and the mozzarella was rubbery. The quinoa and brown rice were also overcooked. I would not recommend this recipe.

This salad was a bit too heavy for my taste. The quinoa and brown rice made it very filling, and the balsamic vinegar dressing was a bit too strong. I think I would prefer a lighter version of this salad.

I'm not a huge fan of quinoa, but this salad was still really good. The tomatoes and mozzarella were fresh and flavorful, and the basil added a nice pop of color and flavor. I would definitely make this again, but I might use a different grain next t
