How to: Healthy Sides – Warm Roasted Cauliflower and Barley Salad
Salads are healthy. Yet, I’m cold. Ergo, my new rule is warm salads only. Because winter blows. Barley has been my muse lately. The first time I made this salad, it was with leftover barley from my frozen burrito recipe. I like to make a whackload at once and eat it in everything. It’s super…
