This herbed barley salad is bursting with fresh ingredients including dill, parsley mint, and sweet-tart pomegranate and is tossed in a zingy lemon dressing. Toasted almonds add crunch and crumbled feta adds a flavour impact with its salty, tangy, briny flavour. Together, so tasty!<\/p>\n

I have officially entered into a vicious and delicious cycle of grain salads. The last couple weeks have been all about pear barley salads, spelt salads, quinoa salads. I love them so much\u2014they\u2019re healthy, hearty, easy to make and are so very versatile. And they are the perfect kind of salad, even for summer \u2014 you can pack them with fresh and flavourful summer herbs.<\/p>\n

Pearl barley: a great choice for grain salads<\/h2>\n

Pearled barley is one of my favourite grains for salad. It\u2019s quick and easy to prepare and has a delicious chew to it. I really recommend it for grain salads. Other substitutions that work really well are quick-cooking spelt or Gr\u00fcnkern. Or if you are looking for a gluten-free alternative try quinoa. Each bring their own unique texture, taste and nutritional profile into the mix.<\/p>\n
