Whether you add Mexican spices and vegetables, do it Greek-style with tomato, feta and olives, or just throw in whatever vegetables you happen to have with a little olive oil and lemon, it’s generally a savory dish.
Not here.
We toss the super grain with sweet berries, because … why not? And guess what? It works. Like, really works.
