Barley and Brown Rice Salad #SundaySupper

What could be more fun than packing up the car and taking the family on a picnic. There is nothing quite like it. I love surprising my kids when they have half days, showing up at school with picnic basket packed. You never know what I will pack in that basket. It can range from Cuban Sandwiches to this delicious Barley Rice Salad with Tahini Dressing.

We love rice and is perfect for a Spring or Summer day. The tangy Tahini Dressing adds an amazing depth of flavors. Not only is this Barley Rice Salad perfect for a picnic, it is perfect for cookouts, celebrations and any time that you need to feed a crew.

  8. You are an amazing mother (and business woman!) Love that you show up with picnic baskets on your children’s half days at school. Your Tahini salad dressing is a keeper (thank you!) And hot or cold anything with Jasmine rice calls me to the table =)
