Yes, keep the kale, goat cheese, and  pistachios separate to maintain their freshness. But that roasted  vegetable, wild rice, and dried cherry medley can sit tight in a little  bit of balsamic dressing while it\u2019s in the fridge and kinda just keeps  getting better and better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Here\u2019s How to Make Winter Grain Bowls:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> Get your sweet potatoes and beets roasting in the oven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Winter Grain Bowl Step 1\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/382651134?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"1550\" height=\"872\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p> <strong>Step 2:<\/strong> Blitz up your balsamic dressing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Winter Grain Bowl Step 2\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/382651351?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"1550\" height=\"872\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p> <strong>Step 3:<\/strong> Make your grain bowl base with sweet potatoes,  beets, wild rice, dried cherries, and a little bit of dressing.

Swap in quinoa, farro, or your favorite grain. \nDon\u2019t have the patience to roast beets? Get pre-cooked ones at the \nstore. Hate pistachios and\/or goat cheese? Any nut\/seed or crumbly \ncheese will work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However you do it, this rainbowy winter grain salad has totally got your back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Check out our video for how to make our Winter Grain Bowl:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/themesvillage.com\/preview\/spices-wordpress-food-blog-themes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Winter-Grain-Salad-Healthy-Meal-Prep-e1582698691751-1024x719.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1579\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<div class=\"center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YiafPhUNEjg\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" width=\"599\" height=\"335\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What\u2019s colorful and nutritious and playful and makes your tastebuds feel very alive?
