While shopping at the Ipercoop in Castenaso, a small town near Bologna, I found a ready-made bag of mixed grains and today I prepared a cold mixed grain salad with oats, spelt, and barley!
We don’t often eat grains and we eat legumes even less, and I know this is not the right behavior because these very ingredients are recommended for getting fibers and proteins to eat healthier.
I added some fresh salmon fillets, corn, pitted Taggiasca olives, and some cherry tomatoes which are always in the kitchen!
The cold rice salad, pasta, grains, legumes are one of the most consumed summer dishes because we can, indeed, we must make it in advance, we can season it with many ingredients like fresh, boiled, grilled, or sautéed vegetables, and then cheeses, pickles, and “leftovers”.
I opened a recipe channel open to everyone and free on WhatsApp with no notifications and no sound, which you can join by clicking the link here https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaHbGIn9cDDig7Cw2x0F, and every day you can read a sweet and a savory recipe!

This dressing is quite delicate, so if you want to make it stronger, add some capers and sun-dried tomatoes in oil!
If you want to flavor the cold summer salad of SPELT, BARLEY, OATS, serve it with a sauce like mayonnaise, tartar, or with yogurt or labna!
