Whole Grain Barley, Spinach and Feta Salad

To make this easy-peasy recipe all you need for 4 to 5 servings is:

300 gr of Whole Grain Barley
100 gr of Frozen Spinach Cubes (better if finely chopped)
100 gr of Feta Cheese
5 Mints Leaves
1 Glove of Garlic
Salt, Pepper & E.V. Olive Oil to taste

Wash and rinse the barley then boil it in a generous amount of water for about 30 mins (or according to the instructions of its pack).

In the meantime, cook the spinach in a pan with a couple of table spoons of oil, a pinch of sea salt and the garlic glove, finaly chopped (if you don't like its taste, you can leave it whole and remove it before assembling the dish). This would take about 10 mins at medium heat.

Once the barley is cooked, drain it then allow both the spinach and the barley to chill.

Roughly break the feta cheese in a bowl, then add the barley, the spinach and the mint leaves finaly chopped.

Season with a couple of table spoons of olive oil, pepper and more sea salt to taste.

Best served cold or at room temperature.
