Got Spelt?

This is the SAME salad as the last post, only this one is made with spelt instead of quinoa.

Spelt is an ancient grain that sadly lost its way from the American kitchen. Like all grains, spelt is incredibly versatile. Equally good on its own, scrambled with an egg for breakfast, or tossed in with a salad (instead of pasta).

Spelt has a naturally nutty flavor that makes it unique. It's also a relatively large grain which lends to its hardiness.

This salad, and the quinoa salad posted below, taste very different just because of the grain change. Note: I would describe the flavor of quinoa as earthy.

So next time you are at the store, go check out the bulk bins, you just might find some spelt.
