DELICIOUS BARLEY/SHRIMP SALAD



DELICIOUS BARLEY/SHRIMP SALAD image

Categories     Salad     Shellfish     Vegetable     Quick & Easy     High Fiber     Healthy     Simmer

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 cup olive oil
6 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth
2 cups barley
2 cups grape tomatoes, halved
1 7-ounce package feta cheese, crumbled (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 cup chopped fresh basil
1 cup chopped green onions
bag of baby spinach
14oz bag frozen cooked small shrimp

Steps:

  • Rinse barley, and place in a small bowl. Cover with water by about two inches, and let soak for about an hour. Drain. Whisk vinegar, lemon juice, and honey in small bowl. Gradually whisk in oil. Season vinaigrette with salt and pepper. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill.) Bring broth and 1/2 cup water to a boil in a large heavy saucepan. Stir in barley, reduce heat, cover, and boil until tender but still firm to bite, about 20 minutes. Drain. Transfer to large wide bowl. Mix tomatoes, feta, basil, green onions,shrimp and spinach into barley. Could also be served on top of spinach but I like it mixed in because it wilts a bit. Add vinaigrette -toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your salad.
  • Cook the barley according to the package directions. Be sure to rinse the barley well before cooking.
  • Let the barley cool completely before assembling the salad. This will help to prevent the salad from becoming too watery.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your salad. This will add color, flavor, and nutrients.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different dressings. There are many delicious options to choose from.
  • Serve the salad immediately. Barley salad is best when it's fresh.

Conclusion:

Barley shrimp salad is a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. It's easy to make and can be customized to your own liking. With its combination of protein, fiber, and vegetables, this salad is sure to keep you feeling full and satisfied.
