Chicken, Belgian Endive, and Grape Grain Salad image

This hearty yet light grain salad incorporates lots of yummy early fall flavors and is a great use of underrated ancient grains like barley and buckwheat. I love the touch of bitterness from the endive contrasted with the sweetness of the grapes and cranberries. This makes enough for two lunch-sized servings or four smaller side dishes.
