Zesty Whole Grain and Vegetable Salad image

I love whole grains, but could find very few recipes with sorghum. I had some vegetables from the garden and decided to throw a few things together. It was delicious! Other grains and vegetables can be added depending on what you have on hand.

This salad is really good, but it's a bit too heavy for me. I think I'll try making it with less dressing next time.

I'm not sure about the addition of the raisins. I think they're a bit too sweet for this salad.

I'm not a big fan of quinoa, but I really liked it in this salad. It added a nice texture and flavor.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I always have some leftover corn and bell peppers, and this salad is a great way to use them up.

This salad is bursting with flavor! The combination of the sweet corn, crunchy bell pepper, juicy tomatoes, and tangy dressing is divine. I also love the addition of the quinoa, which gives the salad a boost of protein and fiber.
