Greek Grain Salad

Ingredients

Salad:

• 1 pound barley
• Salt
• 1/2 pound rye berries
• 1/2 pound wheat berries
• 1 cup pitted, halved kalamata olives
• 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1 cup 1/4-inch diced cucumber
• 1 cup 1/4-inch diced tomato
• 1/2 cup 1/4-inch diced red onion
• 1/2 cup chopped parsley leaves
• 1/2 cup chopped dill

Dressing:

• 1/4 cup cider vinegar
• 1/4 cup minced dill
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 3/4 cup olive oil
• Salt and pepper

Directions

Make the salad: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the barley and cook for 15 minutes. Using a sieve, remove barley from the water and transfer to a bowl.

Bring the water back to a boil and salt, to taste. Add the barley and rye and wheat berries and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 30 to 40 minutes. Drain, transfer to a bowl, and cool.

When cool, combine with the remaining ingredients.

Meanwhile, make the Dressing: Whisk together the vinegar, dill, and garlic. While whisking, drizzle in the oil to make a smooth dressing. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Toss the salad with the dressing and serve.
