What You'll Need

1 cup (200 grams) Purple Barley Berries

1 large handful of bean sprouts or microgreens

1/2 cup (57 grams) crumbled Cotija or feta cheese

1/4 cup (21 grams) sliced almonds, toasted

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1 small ripe avocado, sliced

Flaky salt

Freshly ground black pepper

Lemony Yogurt Sauce:

1/2 cup (113 grams) plain yogurt (non-Greek yogurt works best)

1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

Pinch of fine sea salt

Directions

  1. Place 1 cup of Hayden Flour Mills Heritage Tibetan Purple Barley in a pot, cover in 3 inches of water. Bring to a boil, reduces heat and simmer for 40 minutes or until the barley is softened and plump but still chewy. Strain and set aside.

  2. In a large bowl, mix the barley, sprouts, cheese, almonds, and kosher salt together.

  3. To make the lemony yogurt sauce mix all the ingredients together in a small bowl.

  4. Scoop the barley salad into two individual bowls and top with the avocado and a few generous spoonfuls of yogurt sauce. Sprinkle with flaky salt and pepper.

  5. Share and enjoy!

Makes 2 large bowls.
