Categories     Salad     Side     Vegetarian

Yield 3-4 portions

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup farro
1/4 cup pearl barley
1/4 israeli cous cous
1/2 cup frozen corn (I prefer white, but yellow looks prettier)
1 large carrot (or 2 medium ones), peeled and shredded
2 sticks celery, chopped finely
1 or 2 hearts (the very center) of romaine lettuce, chopped finely
small bunch of cilantro, chopped
2 Tbsp of vinegar of choice (I love oregano vinegar!)
1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
2 tsp Dijon mustard
salt & pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Soak farro and barley in separate containers overnight or at least 6 hrs. Cook farro in salted boiling water for 15 min. Cook barley in salted boiling water for 10 min. Cook cous cous in salted boiling water for 5-7 min. Cook corn in salted boiling water for 2-3 min. Drain all grains and corn perfectly and allow to come to room temp. for one hour or so (this whole process of soaking and cooking the grains and corn can be made 1 or 2 days in advance). In a small bowl whisk vinegar, oil and mustard till fully emulsified, then season with salt and pepper to taste. In a large bowl mix all grains and corn, add a couple of tablespoons of the vinagrette and combine perfectly; add carrots, celery, lettuce and cilantro. Mix well, then dress with the rest of vinagrette and correct seasoning, adding more salt and pepper if necessary.

I was really disappointed with this salad. The grains were overcooked and the dressing was too oily.

This is the best grain salad I've ever had! The dressing is so flavorful and the grains are cooked perfectly.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my salad turned out really bland. I think I might have used too much water when cooking the grains.

I love the addition of roasted vegetables to this salad. They add a nice smoky flavor and make the salad more filling.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover grains. I had some quinoa, brown rice, and barley in my pantry and this was the perfect recipe to use them up.

I'm not usually a fan of grain salads, but this one was really good. The grains were cooked perfectly and the dressing was light and flavorful.

This salad was a hit at my last potluck! Everyone loved the combination of grains and the dressing was perfect. I will definitely be making this again.
