DRESSING
Cook grains separately, in 2 cups water, until done, 45 minutes or less.
For the dressing, I used a prepared nonfat tomato-herb dressing (Trader Joe's) mixed about half and half with red wine vinegar because I generally find prepared nonfat dressings too thick and too sweet for my taste. I didn't measure, but I used perhaps half a cup, maybe as much as a cup, total, just enough to moisten everything.
I let it sit in the refrigerator all day, to let the flavors mix. I don't know how many people it served--it filled a large bowl-- but there wasn't any left over after the potluck (and while I was glad that everyone liked it, I was sorry not to have some to take home).
