    Warm Barley Salad

    Marla

    Recipe Introduction


    This simple side dish makes a wonderful accompaniment to any spring meal. The combination of salty capers and feta, and slightly sweet vinaigrette is fantastic.


    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.
