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

PARSLEY AND ROMAINE SALAD

Parsley and Romaine Salad image

I sometimes use parsley as a salad green, adding the leaves whole or cutting them into chiffonade, as I do in this delicate salad. You can dress it with a vinaigrette, or with a simpler combination of 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 cup (tightly packed) flat-leaf parsley leaves
1 heart of romaine lettuce
1 tablespoon pine nuts, lightly toasted
4 thin slices stale or toasted baguette, rubbed with a cut clove of garlic and cut in small squares
1 tablespoon minced chives
1/4 cup dressing of your choice, like mustard vinaigrette or a simple lemon vinaigrette: 1 tablespoon lemon juice whisked together with 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil and salt to taste

Steps:

Take up a handful of the parsley and bunch it together, then slice into thin strips (chiffonade) by cutting across the bunch with a chef's knife. Repeat until all of the parsley is cut into chiffonade. Transfer to a salad bowl.
