Pearl Barley, Mint and Pea Salad

June 28, 2017 by HealthyJon Leave a Comment

This Pearl Barley, Mint and Pea Salad is your perfect summer BBQ accompliment. Made with British ingredients this dish is fragrant and full of flavour. The mint just makes it so refreshing, whilst the “al dente” asparagus and cashews provide a nice little crunch. This summer salad can be paired with almost anything, lamb, chicken, fish, you name it. It only takes 25 minutes to make and the wonderful colour is sure to brighten any table. If you like this you are sure to like my bright Beetroot Risotto.
