Barley Salad

Barley Salad

Everyday

Barley salad is a hearty whole grain dish featuring cooked barley as its base, known for its chewy texture and nutty flavor. This versatile salad typically combines chilled barley with fresh vegetables like cucumbers and tomatoes, herbs such as parsley, and often includes tangy elements like lemon dressing or feta cheese. As a nutritionally balanced option, it provides sustained energy from complex carbohydrates and fiber while remaining naturally low in fat. The dish’s gluten-containing grain base makes it unsuitable for celiac diets, but its make-ahead convenience appeals to meal-prepping enthusiasts.
