5-Grain Salad With Arugula and Apples

This mixed-grain salad with apples, arugula and goat cheese simply exudes freshness.

  • Sysco Culinary Team
  • Houston, TX

To make this hearty and fresh main-dish salad, start with a foundation of Path of Life 5-Grain blend, which cooks up quickly, with a nutty, down-to-earth flavor. Add arugula, apples and a spiced vinaigrette to bring all the flavors together. Goat cheese gives the dish additional protein and richness.
