This grain bowl featuring the delicious Mediterranean Mix from Great Lakes Growers will quickly become a staple in your household. Served as a main course or a side dish, it is packed with texture and flavor that sure to satisfy!
Located in Burton, Ohio, just a few miles away from Heinen’s stores, Great Lakes Growers is known for an incredible selection of lettuces and herbs grown in their state-of-the-art hydroponic greenhouse. The quality, longevity and taste of their products is simply unmatched. If you have not brought their produce into your home yet, I highly recommend adding it to your next grocery list!
Back to this grain bowl! I used Great Lakes Growers’ Mediterranean Mix and hearty farro to create an excellent base for this fall-inspired salad full of Mediterranean flavors you know and love!
The best thing about this salad is that you can make it in advance! Simply store it in an air tight container in the refrigerator and add the dressing when you are ready to eat! Your family will gobble this up without thinking twice.
