Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup barley
salt
1/2 cup rye berries
1/2 cup wheat berries
1/2 cup pitted halved kalamata olive
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/2 cup diced cucumber
1/2 cup diced tomato
1/4 cup diced red onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
1/4 cup chopped dill
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons minced dill
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Make the salad: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the barley and cook for 15 minutes. Using a sieve, remove barley from the water and transfer to a bowl.
  • Bring the water back to a boil and salt, to taste. Add the barley and rye and wheat berries and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 30 to 40 minutes. Drain, transfer to a bowl, and cool.
  • When cool, combine with the remaining ingredients.
  • Meanwhile, make the Dressing: Whisk together the vinegar, dill, and garlic. While whisking, drizzle in the oil to make a smooth dressing. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Toss the salad with the dressing and serve.
