Spinach and Endive Salad With Kasha and Mushrooms image

Kasha is not the main ingredient here, so I wouldn't call this a grain salad, but rather a substantial leafy green salad with grain. I love pairing this nutty grain with both cooked and raw spinach, and with walnuts and walnut oil. Kasha also goes well with foods that have a bitter edge, like endive, so I included some in the salad.

I'm not sure how I feel about the dressing. I'm not a big fan of vinegar-based dressings, but I'm willing to give it a try.

I found that the dressing was a little too tangy for my taste. I would recommend using less vinegar or adding a little bit of honey to balance out the flavors.
