Get ready for salad season with a Greek-inspired salad featuring fresh herbs, feta, and a tangy lemon dressing. Packed with flavors, textures, and ideal as a standalone meal or paired with your favorite protein.
Ingredients:
  • 330g (1½ cups) pearl barley
  • 400g can chickpeas, rinsed, drained
  • 4 green shallots, sliced
  • 1 Lebanese cucumber, finely chopped
  • 2 large celery sticks, trimmed, finely chopped
  • 1 green capsicum, deseeded, finely chopped
  • ½ cup fresh dill sprigs, coarsely chopped
  • ½ cup fresh mint leaves, coarsely chopped
  • ½ cup fresh continental parsley leaves, coarsely chopped
  • 200g Greek-style feta, crumbled
  • 36.40 gm extra virgin olive oil
  • 45g (1/4 cup) currants
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) fresh lemon juice
  • 80ml (1/3 cup) extra virgin olive oil
Instructions:
  • Boil the barley in a large saucepan for 30 minutes or until tender. Drain and let cool for 30 minutes before using.
  • To prepare the vibrant lemon dressing, mix the currants and lemon juice in a jar. Allow them to stand for at least 15 minutes to let the currants soften. Then, add the oil, seal the jar tightly, and shake vigorously to blend all the flavors together.
  • In a large bowl, mix together barley, chickpeas, green shallot, chopped vegetables, and herbs. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Drizzle with dressing and toss to combine thoroughly.
  • Combine the feta in the bowl, gently toss, drizzle with oil, and serve.
