PEARL BARLEY SALAD WITH FETA, TOASTED ALMONDS LEMON AND PARSLEY
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

[email protected]This salad was a total disaster. The barley was undercooked, the dressing was too sour, and the feta cheese was too salty.

[email protected]The feta cheese adds a nice salty flavor to the salad, and the toasted almonds add a bit of crunch. I also like to add some chopped fresh parsley for an extra boost of flavor.
