Barley, black bean and avocado salad

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Be the first to review it!

We think of barley as a soup ingredient, but it's also a delicious main-dish grain, served hot or cold. When combined with black beans, tomato and avocado, it adds up to a salad that could hardly be more healthy or delicious.

Broccoli and pearl barley salad

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Be the first to review it!

Pearl barley, with its nutty flavour and firm texture, makes an interesting change from rice in grain-based salads, and it blends beautifully with this mixture of vegetables, sweet dried apricots and pumpkin seeds. Serve this as a satisfying lunch dish, adding some crumbled cheese such as feta for additional protein.

Feta and couscous salad

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Be the first to review it!

Apart from being an excellent source of starchy carbohydrate, couscous is a great background for other ingredients. In this lunch salad, both raw and lightly steamed vegetables are added to the couscous together with toasted almonds, fresh mint and creamy feta cheese. A touch of chilli gives extra bite to the dressing.

Recipe by: Jan Cutler

Marinated duck salad with bulghur

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Be the first to review it!

The contrast of sweet citrus, slightly bitter greens, spicy chilli, earthy grains and tender duck is marvellous, with sweet basil adding an unexpected note. Kumquats are a curious citrus fruit in that they are eaten skin and all; poaching takes away their bitterness so they yield up a sweet citrus flavour.
