Barley And Tomato Salad

May 21, 2021 by Editorial Team

Barley is a tasty and healthy cereal grain with amazing fibre and protein contents. It is commonly used in soup and minestrone recipes; however, Tuscan cuisine features a variety of barley salad recipes too. I’ve created this simple and quick barley salad to share with you. Once you have experimented with barley, you can go a bit wilder and mix it with roasted veggies, beans, or carrots.

If you are in a rush but fancy some carbs, this fresh barley and tomato salad is perfect for a summer lunch or dinner. It will keep your energy levels up.
