Report
Egyptian Barley Salad is a refreshing combination of crunchy celery, tart pomegranate, and chewy barley in a vibrantly spiced vinaigrette.

Ingredients
- 1 cup pearl barley
- 6 celery diced, stalks
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 tbsp sherry vinegar
- 2 garlic minced, cloves
- 1/2 tsp ground allspice heaping
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 3 tbsp dill chopped, fresh
- 3 tbsp parsley chopped, flat leaf, fresh
- 2 tbsp mint chopped, fresh
- 1 1/2 cups pomegranate seeds See Note 1, arils
Instructions
- In a small bowl whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, garlic, allspice, salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Rinse barley with cold water several times until water runs clear.
- Transfer to saucepan filled with heavily salted water. Bring to a boil and turn to simmer for 30 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large salad bowl.
- While barley is hot, add the dressing, toss to coat and mix thoroughly. Allow to cool at room temperature.
- Add the celery, herbs and pomegranate seeds. Mix and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve room temperature or chilled if you prefer.
Notes
- You can either use the seeds from 2 pomegranates or purchase just the seeds. I find 4 or 8 oz containers from the brand Pom Pom in my market in the refrigerated vegetable/fruit section of the market. Purchase at least 2 for 1 1/2 cups. Save remaining for other use.
