Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 ounces green beans, halved crosswise
Kosher salt
1 cup pearled, hulled, or hull-less barley
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/4 cup raw sunflower seeds
1 15.5-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed
4 ounces feta, crumbled
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Toasted Spice Vinaigrette

Steps:

  • Cook green beans in a large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Using a sieve or a slotted spoon, transfer to a bowl of ice water.
  • Return water to a boil, add barley, and simmer until tender (refer to packaging for timing); drain. Let cool on a baking sheet.
  • Heat oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Cook sunflower seeds, tossing occasionally, until golden brown, about 5 minutes; let cool.
  • Toss green beans, barley, sunflower seeds, chickpeas, feta, dill, lemon juice, and vinaigrette in a large bowl.
