I love whole grains, and one with sorghum intrigued me. However, I could not find that grain at the grocery, so used barley, which I had on hand. All other ingredients remained as written. It was tasty. I sprinkled the top crumbled Feta.
Yay sorghum! I am so happy to see recipes using this “grain”. I used homemade vinaigrette and used less than a cup. This is refreshing and great on those hot days. We enjoyed this with red, sweet onions and added some cucumbers for extra crunch. Thank you for the recipe.
