Zesty Whole Grain and Vegetable Salad image

I love whole grains, but could find very few recipes with sorghum. I had some vegetables from the garden and decided to throw a few things together. It was delicious! Other grains and vegetables can be added depending on what you have on hand.

This salad is too expensive to make. I can find cheaper and healthier options at the grocery store.
