1large tomato, diced, or 1 cup halved grape tomatoes
125 ml crumbled feta
30 ml finely chopped mint or 1 Tbsp (15 mL) chopped fresh oregano
125 ml canola oil
75 ml balsamic vinegar
15 ml maple syrup or brown sugar
10 ml grainy mustard
1garlic clove, finely crushed
Directions
In a medium saucepan of boiling water, cook barley and lentils for 40 minutes, until both are tender. Drain well in a colander and set aside to cool completely. Lentils and barley can be cooked ahead and refrigerated for up to 3 days before finishing salad.
In a large bowl, toss barley, lentils, parsley, cucumber, tomato, feta and mint. In a small bowl or jar, whisk or shake together canola oil, vinegar, maple syrup, mustard, and garlic and drizzle over salad to taste. Toss to coat.
