List of Ingredients
Warm Barley Salad
1 cup uncooked barley, quick-cooking variety
1/4 tsp table salt
1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbles
1 Tbsp capers
1 tsp fresh dill, minced
1/4 cup scallion(s), minced (green parts only)
4 tsp low-fat vinaigrette
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tsp lemon zest, freshly grated
Recipe
Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a medium-size pot; stir in barley and salt. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until barley is tender, about 10 minutes. (There may still be some water in the pot. If so, cover the barley and set it aside for 10 minutes for the liquid to be absorbed. Or you can drain the barley).
Spoon cooked barley into a serving bowl; add cheese, capers, dill, scallions, vinaigrette, pepper and lemon zest. Stir gently but well; serve warm. Yields about 3/4 cup per serving.
