My summer lunches revolve around salads like this one, made with gluten free grains, garden fresh vegetables, some sort of protein and fresh herbs or greens. I do try to keep things interesting so as not to eat the same thing all the time, but I admit I’ve become a little obsessed on this particular one lately. It is full of flavor, refreshing and filling, with a satisfying mix of textures from the fresh cucumber, juicy & ripe grape tomatoes, sweet green chickpeas and the chewy wholegrain sorghum.
