Caprese Salad With Quinoa and Brown Rice image

Caprese salad is a classic recipe with fresh tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and basil. This version adds a little brown rice and quinoa for a heartier salad. The honey balsamic dressing gives the dish a lightly sweet and tangy flavor. It's delicious and will be great for a picnic or even a dinner party.

This salad was a bit disappointing. The quinoa and brown rice were overcooked and the vegetables were not very fresh. The dressing was also a bit too oily.

This salad was a bit too heavy for my taste. I think it would be better with less quinoa and brown rice. The flavors were also a bit too strong.

I thought this salad was just okay. The flavors were a bit bland for my taste. I also found the quinoa and brown rice to be a bit too chewy.
