1. Cook your whole grain according to the package directions (or, use this handy whole grain cooking chart [1])
2. Drain the grain, and place into a large serving bowl. Mix in the tomatoes, kalamata olives, and beans.
3. Separately in a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, vinegar, olive oil, dried herbs, and salt and pepper, if using.
