I would recommend using fresh vegetables for this salad. The frozen vegetables that I used didn't have as much flavor.

This salad is a bit bland for my taste. I would have liked to see more herbs or spices in the dressing.

This salad is a great way to get your daily dose of whole grains. It's also a good source of protein and fiber.
