The best part of this is, it’s more like a formula than a recipe. The combinations are endless, but you can just stick with the basic ratio of ingredients. Try different kinds of beans, wild rice instead of quinoa or even dried currants or cranberries instead of raisins…add some celery, chop up some kale…whatever you like best! I promise, if you like the basic salad, you’ll like any combo that you have on-hand.
