Toasted Barley Salad with Fresh Herbs, Tomato & Zucchni
I attended a recipe demo at the Culinary Institute of America (St. Helena, CA). At first, I wasn't impressed with the title of this salad-- until I tasted it! This toasted barley salad is a perfect way to showcase summer tomatoes (I used heirloom) and summer squash of your choice. Toasting the barley and pine nuts is key to the flavor and textures of this healthy & flavorful salad. The chef chose to use purple basil (green is fine) and so did I, when I made this at home. We love it!
