Prep (45 minutes)
- Cook grain according to package directions (cooking time is up to 45 minutes).
- Cut up vegetables
Directions:
Preheat oven 400°F
- Roast vegetables. Place all chopped vegetables into a large bowl. Pour olive oil over top and season with salt and pepper. Mix until well covered with the olive oil.
- Pour vegetables onto a roasting pan, covered in foil for easy cleanup. Spread veggies out into a single layer for best results, using an additional pan if necessary. Roast 30-40 minutes, turning occasionally, until veggies are cooked and slightly crisp around the edges.
- Remove from oven, drizzle with a little bit of white wine vinegar and allow to cool.
- Pour veggies onto a cutting board. Add fresh herbs to the vegetables and then chop into smaller chunks (1/4” – 1/2”).
- Mix chopped vegetables, grain, and beans in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and splash with the juice of one lemon. Serve with dill sauce (combine yogurt, lemon and dill) on the side and some sliced cucumbers
You can substitute barley with your favorite grains of choice like rice, quinoa, couscous and bulgar
Serve this hearty salad with an easy-to-make dill sauce. Mix the greek yogurt (our sour cream) with lemon and dill. Chill in refrigerator until ready to use.
