Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Barley and Lentils

    Rinse the barley berries and sprouted lentils under cold water. Cook barley in a pot with 3 cups of water for about 30-40 minutes until tender. In another pot, simmer the sprouted lentils for about 15-20 minutes until soft. Drain and let cool.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Thinly slice the radish, shave the fennel, and peel and julienne the turnip. Chop the chives, dill, and chervil finely.

  3. 3

    Make the Buttermilk Dressing

    In a bowl, combine 1 cup of buttermilk, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper to taste. Whisk until smooth.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the cooled barley, sprouted lentils, radish, shaved fennel, turnip, chives, dill, and chervil. Drizzle with the buttermilk dressing and toss gently to combine.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Divide the salad into bowls or plates and serve immediately, garnished with extra herbs if desired.
