Good things come to those who wait. This dish is certainly proof of that! You’ll wait for the sorghum to cook (about 50 minutes), but in the end, you get a delightful, flavorful grain salad on your plate. Curious about sorghum? It’s a chewy, round ancient grain that dates back thousands of years, and it’s naturally gluten-free. Thanks to its hearty texture and nutritious profile, this salad is delightfully filling and satisfying, especially with the addition of the coconut-curry dressing. Add grilled tofu for a complete, vegetarian meal.
