This is perfect! Let it sit a while, the grains and the peas really soak up the dressing and it could need some more at the end. Don’t fuss with extras. I thought about parsley (could work) and mint (a completely different dish if you did) and I think you should do the old fashioned way: try the recipe exactly as is the first time and adjust the second time. Just don’t forget the extra dressing and a lean protein would go beautifully with this.
