Spice Up Summer With Harissa Grain Salad

This recipe for summer grain salad only takes twenty minutes, plus it lasts up to a week in the fridge, which means more time at the pool and less time prepping meals. This recipe is very forgiving to modifications, I like crumbling in some feta for an extra dose of protein, but garbanzo beans or queso fresco would be delicious too. Fresh parsley and mint help keep the spices under control, because in the summer, we’re all about beating the heat.
