PEARL BARLEY SALAD WITH FETA, TOASTED ALMONDS LEMON AND PARSLEY



Pearl Barley Salad With Feta, Toasted Almonds Lemon and Parsley image

This recently appeared in the Sunday Life magazine, as 'Freekah salad ..." by renowned chef Karen Martini. I couldn't find freekah - and Karen recommended pearl barley as a 'perfect substitute'. The recipe calls for feta, but I've made it without and it was still delicious. I'm trying to lose a few kilos, so also omitted the oil - still yummy. Have it cold - or warm and season to taste. It goes perfectly with the Greek lamb dish I've posted - also by Karen Martini

For never having made barley before...I must say this turned out quite nice. I paired this with a grilled onion and garlic pork loin as a side dish. Awesome substitute for rice!
