Barley with Feta and Tomatoes

Ingredients

Olive oil 3 tbsp

Cherry tomatoes 350 g

Dill 50 g

Pearl barley 200 g

Lemon zest 1 tsp

Feta cheese 180 g

Salt 1/2 tsp

Pepper 1/2 tsp

Cut the cherry tomatoes in half. Finely chop the dill.

Place the tomatoes in a bowl with the chopped dill and lemon zest, add the olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and ground black pepper. Let the dressing steep for ten minutes.

Meanwhile, cook the barley in salted water until tender. Drain the cooked barley in a colander, transfer to a large bowl, and mix with the tomatoes and other ingredients. Crumble the feta into the mixture and mix again.

You can substitute basil for the dill in this recipe—it'll be different, but just as good.

Enjoy!
