Asparagus Barley Salad

Asparagus Barley Salad

Posted 2018-08-10 by noshnoshfollow
A delightfully fresh spring or summer salad with a touch of decadence.

Substantial and satisfying due to the fibre-full barley and serve of healthy fats in the olive oil, pine nuts and avocado, this dish makes a perfect light vegan main for warmer weather.



Cooking Time: 30 minutes
Serves: 2

Ingredients
180g asparagus, trimmed
1 tsp garlic, minced
1 tbsp olive oil
40g pine nuts
1/2 cup (100g) barley, dry
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 avocado
1/4 bunch parsley, roughly chopped

Method
  • Preheat oven to 150C.

  • Spread the asparagus across a lined baking tray, and top with the garlic and oil. Cook for 10 minutes then toss the pine nuts through.



  • Meanwhile, heat a small pan of water, and once boiling, add the barley. Continue to cook for 15-20 minutes, or until tender but chewy, and then drain and set aside.



  • Cook asparagus for a further 10-15 minutes or until browned, then divide between two bowls over a serve of barley. Garnish with lemon juice, half an avocado and the parsley, and season with cracked black pepper.
