Bright and colourful this Broad Bean, Tomato & Barley Salad is tossed in a zingy lemon cumin dressing. Topped with pumpkin and sunflower seeds, parsley and feta, this is a quick and easy recipe that you can serve on its own or as a side dish.

You can use fresh or frozen podded broad beans and if you prefer a vegan option you can swap the feta for a plant-based alternative.

This hearty Broad Bean, Tomato & Barley Salad is perfect for an alfresco lunch or light dinner. I like to serve it with some fresh homemade bread such as this easy white loaf below. Baked in the oven in a round casserole (or Dutch oven), it has a nice crusty top and is really soft inside.⠀

Fancy a tuna salad without the fish? Try my vegan chickpea tuna salad. Budget-friendly and using a combination of pantry staples and fresh ingredients, this recipe is perfect for meal prep.

Instructions
 

  • Heat some water into two saucepans. When boiling, add pearl barley to one and podded broad beans to the other. Broad beans should cook in around 3-5 mins. Pearl barley should cook in around 20-25mins. When done, drain and set aside to cool down.
  • If you prefer, at this stage, you can squeeze the broad beans out of their skins.
  • To make the dressing, whisk together the mustard, olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, crushed garlic and cumin.
