This is a classic Mediterannean light lunch that I love to serve over mixed greens. The combination of pear and walnuts with the naturally sweet nutty flavor of barley is superb! The little sprinkle of feta gives it a nice touch, but if you would like to keep it vegan, you can leave it out and it’s still delightful!
Barley Salad with Pear, Walnut & Feta
Servings 4
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 leek well rinsed and thinly sliced
- 1 cup hulled barley
- 2 1/2 cup water

- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/4 tsp coarse salt

Instructions
-
Heat 2 Tbsp olive oil in a medium cast iron dutch oven (I like Le Creuset but any heavy bottom deep pan will do) and sauté leek for 2-3 minutes, while stirring occasionally.
-
Add barley to the pan and stir to coat well with the sautéed leeks, continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
-
Add water to the pan and continue to cook, covered for 15 minutes.
-
Turn off the heat and keep lid on for 5 more minutes.
-
Transfer to a medium bowl and add the diced pear, and walnuts and stir again gently; let it cool for 5-10 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, place all dressing ingredients in a small container and whisk briskly to blend well.
-
Add the dressing to the barley salad and stir well.
-
Sprinkle with feta cheese when ready to serve.
