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
Author Catherine Katz

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 leek well rinsed and thinly sliced
  • 1 cup hulled barley
  • 2 1/2 cup water
  • 1 pear anjou, rinsed and diced
  • 2 Tbsp chopped walnuts
  • 2 Tbsp feta cheese
  • Dressing:
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 tsp coarse salt
  • fresh ground pepper

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.
