This simple beet and barley salad has bright pops of colour thanks to ruby red and golden beets, as well as red onions mixed in with pearl barley, mint, spinach and salty feta. It\u2019s topped with a harissa yoghurt dressing which gives it a Middle Eastern touch that has a delicate heat thanks to the cooling yogurt. This is a great way to enjoy a grain salad in a new way!<\/p>\n

Pearl barley: more versatile than just for soups and stews<\/h2>\n

Pearled barley is one of my favourite grains for salad. It\u2019s quick and easy to prepare and has a delicious nutty flavour and texture. As the fibrous outer hull of whole grain barley has been removed or partially removed and polished, the barley grains have a smooth surface and quick cooking time. Which of course, is what makes it a great choice when looking for a quick cooking and nutritious grain that is rich in protein, vitamin and mineral content as well as other beneficial plant compounds. And it pairs wonderfully with fresh herbs and roasted vegetables, especially beets.

Harissa yoghurt dressing adds Middle Eastern flair to simple dishes<\/h2>\n

Harissa seems to find it\u2019s way into my cooking more and more. I simply love the depth of the flavor thanks it\u2019s combination of smoked, fresh and roasted peppers, along with spices and herbs. And the mixture of yoghurt and harissa is also a welcome combination, since the yoghurt mellows out the spiciness while still leaving some lingering heat. And thus is this beet and barley salad born. It is inspired by one of favourite ways to enjoy harissa spice, in this simple recipe for Roasted Beetroot Salad with Harissa-Yoghurt.<\/p>\n
