Freekah Salad
I have been making this one for nearly 15 years and it never get’s old.
It’s quite dense (with grains) so goes well with a light green salad and protein.
This was first inspired by my friend Caz’s party many moons ago.
I hope that you enjoy it as much as I have.
Ingredients:
- 300g freekah grain (or pearl barely as alternative)
- 100ml extra virgin olive oil
- 1 lemon, juiced
- sea salt and cracked pepper
- 1 red onion, finely diced
- 1 large bunch of flat leaf parley, chopped
- 50g almonds, roughly chopped and toasted.
- 100g marinated sheep’s fetta, crumbled
Instructions:
- Bring large pot water to boil on high heat
- Add freekah, reduce heat to low and simmer for 40min or tender
- Drain well and place in serving bowl while freekah is warm, add olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper
- Toss through onion and parsley, then top with toasted almonds and fetta
