One of my favorite things to eat in the summer is salad. I'm not talking about boring lettuce salads, but delicious and satisfying salads! Today's salad is filled with whole grains and protein and can be customized with whatever ingredients you have in your refrigerator!

This salad bowl is delicious but does require making several of the ingredients, so it is certainly not a quick weeknight meal, unless you do some of the prep ahead of time.

Make this Autumn Salad hardy and healthy with an assortment of vegetables. I prefer to choose veggies that are currently in season.

Salade Niçoise is a substantial salad with proteins, veggies, and a nice salty bite.
