My Thoughts

 I have always been a fan of Suddenly Salad. Their pastas are a quick and easy side dish. I especially enjoy them in the summer months because you can eat them cold and they're nice and refreshing. They've always been delicious, but now Suddenly Grain Salads brings us a whole new type of experience. Each box is loaded with real whole grains like brown rice, wild rice, dried fruits, and nuts.

The Suddenly Grain Salads are so simple to make, my teenage daughter cooked one up all by herself.  The whole thing is done in just four simple steps. First, boil the grains for about seventeen minutes. While that's stewing, you can mix up your dressing. Just add some water and oil to the packet and mix. Finally, drain the grains and mix everything together. After you add the dressing, you toss in the nuts and berries. In less than half and hour, you can have a side dish that compliments any meal.

My whole family loved all the Suddenly Salads with grains. They have lots of flavor and are very filling. One box was more than enough for my family of six. There's nothing better than a quick and easy meal, unless of course it's also packed with healthy grains.  If you want to experience a truly unique side dish, give Suddenly Grain Salads mixes a try!
