Cooked Grains Salad With Tomato Vinaigrette image

You can use a variety of grains in this salad. I've made it with a mixture of brown rice and farro, with quinoa and with bulgur. The mixture makes a robust main-dish salad for summer.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some roasted carrots and Brussels sprouts that I needed to use up, and they worked perfectly in this salad. The tomato vinaigrette is also a great way to add some extra flavor.

I'm always looking for new salad recipes, and this one definitely fits the bill. It's easy to make, uses fresh ingredients, and is packed with flavor. I especially love the addition of the cooked beets, which give the salad a nice sweetness.
