Ingredients
- 3 cups of water
- 1 cup of whole grain sorghum
- 2 ripe tomatoes, roughly chopped
- 1 stalk of celery, finely chopped
- ½ small onion, diced
- A handful of fresh cilantro, chopped finely to add a burst of flavor (Optional)
- 1 fresh jalapeno pepper, deseeded and finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, crushed for a hint of pungency
- 1 cup of light Italian salad dressing
- 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice
Step 1
In a cozy little pot, mingle water and sorghum together. Let it dance to a boil, then gently simmer on medium-low heat under a lid until the sorghum is delightfully tender but still has a nice firm bite, usually around an hour. Once done, bid farewell to any leftover water and let it cool off for about 10 lovely minutes.
Step 2
Next, escort the sorghum to a spacious bowl. Introduce it to some vibrant company - tomatoes, crunchy celery, aromatic onion, fresh cilantro, spicy jalapeno, and a hint of garlic. Toss them all together in a joyful mix. Now, sprinkle in some zesty Italian dressing and a squeeze of lemon juice. Cover the bowl with a snug plastic wrap and let it chill in the fridge before it's ready to make its grand entrance, typically about 30 minutes.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep your veggies and grains fresh by storing them in airtight containers or resealable bags. This will help them retain their crunch and flavor.
- 2. For a burst of zesty flavor, store your dressing separately from the salad until you're ready to enjoy it. This will prevent the veggies and grains from getting soggy.
