I love salads in the summer time. This Spring Sorghum Grain Salad recipe is one of my favorites. Salads are the perfect accompaniment to barbecued chicken or steak on the grill. They are easy to make ahead for picnics and parties so that you can just take them out of the refrigerator at the last minute. the only thing that I don’t like about many salads is that they are not gluten free. I have a lot of favorite pasta salads but since my daughter is gluten intolerant, I rarely make them. I try to serve things that everyone in the family can enjoy including my daughter.

Spring Sorghum Grain Salad Recipe
This Spring Sorghum Grain Salad recipe is gluten free. If you are not familiar with sorghum, you may know it by the name milo. It’s a small, round grain that is a bit similar to pearl barley. I’s loaded with iron, potassium and fiber so it’s a healthy food to include in your diet. Sorghum is a Middle Eastern grain that traveled along trade routes from ancient Africa to the Middle East, India and China. This recipe makes a delicious spring salad. Technically, it could be a meal because having the sorghum with the feta makes a complete protein but we usually enjoy it as a salad topped with Stonyfield Farms Organic Greek yogurt.
Since it uses fresh lettuce and radishes from the garden, it’s a very frugal side dish. The only real expense is the fresh herbs and if you have those in your garden as well, the expense is minimal. You will want to start this salad the night before since the sorghum has to soak first.
