5 c of cooked, cooled rice or orzo (I use Trader Joe's frozen rice medley--brown & red rice, barley--no need to heat, just thaw)
1 bunch of finely chopped fresh kale or fresh greens of choice
1 small bunch of chopped cilantro
1/4-1/3 c finely chopped red onion
1 c feta cheese
8 oz dried cranberries
3/4 slivered, sliced or chopped almonds (pecans work well too)
combine in a large bowl.....mix together with a large spatula scooping from under the goodies to keep the grains from getting mushy
dressing----1/4 c grapeseed or olive oil, juice of 2 lemons, 1 garlic clove minced, 1 T dijon mustard, 1 tsp salt or more to taste....salt adds the finishing touch....mix dressing into salad and refrigerate
even better when made the night before.....serve chilled or room temp
