SPINACH AND ENDIVE SALAD WITH KASHA AND MUSHROOMS
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.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a medium saute pan or skillet (not nonstick) over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes (do not let the garlic brown). Push the garlic off to the side of the pan and add the mushrooms. Increase the heat to medium high and season the mushrooms with salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are cooked through and begin to become golden in spots, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Add the spinach, sprinkle with an additional pinch of salt and turn with tongs until wilted. (If you can't fit all the spinach in the pan, cover it for a few minutes, then uncover, stir and add the rest.) Transfer to a serving platter, drizzle with the vinegar and serve warm.

ENDIVE, APPLE AND KASHA SALAD
Nutty, earthy grains of kasha go beautifully with crunchy, juicy apples and bitter endive, long a favorite salad combo. Cut the apple into small dice - 1/4 to 1/2 inch - to maximize this marriage of grain, fruit, nut and bitter salad green. The acid to oil quotient in the dressing is on the low side; I use lemon juice only and sweeten the mix with a little honey. You could also use agave nectar, and leave out the Gruyère in the salad for a vegan version; though I love the Gruyère here because it, too, has a nutty flavor. This salad holds up well on a buffet.
