Yield Serves 2 as a side dish

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/3 cup pearl barley
3 tablespoons walnuts
1/2 cup packed fresh flat-leafed parsley leaves
1 celery rib
1/2 small head radicchio (about 1 1/2 ounces)
1/2 firm-ripe pear
1/4 cup crumbled feta
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • In a 2-quart saucepan three fourths full with boiling water boil barley, partially covered, until tender, about 30 minutes.
  • While barley is cooking, in a baking pan toast walnuts in middle of oven until golden, about 7 minutes. Chop parsley. Cut celery and radicchio into 1/4-inch dice. Peel and core pear and cut into 1/4-inch dice.
  • Drain barley in a sieve and transfer to a bowl. Add feta to barley and add nuts, parsley, celery, radicchio, pear, lemon juice, oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Toss salad until combined.
