Best ever (and yummiest) hot-weather salad if you ask me. Has grains, has protein, has plenty of taste-what more could you ask for? Ingredients:
2/3 cup pearl barley |
2/3 cup green lentil |
1/3 cup green onion, finely sliced (or chives or red onion) |
3 tablespoons lemon juice |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 garlic clove, minced (or as much garlic as you can stand) |
1/2-1 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
pepper, to taste |
Directions:
1. In a large pot, wash and rinse the barley and lentils. Fill pot with a lot of water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and boil until cooked - 45 minutes to an hour.
2. Drain and rinse with cool water.
3. Transfer to a salad bowl and toss with the onions/chives.
4. Combine all the dressing ingredients, then add to the lentil-barley-onion mixture, stirring until well combined.
