(SOMETHING) BARLEY SALAD

 

2 cups cooked barley

1 medium yellow squash (zucchini-type), chopped

2 roma tomatoes, chopped

1-1/2 teaspoons sesame oil

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

2 t. to 1 T of Whole Foods Toronto Steak & Chicken Rub (*)

 

Mix together cooked barley, chopped squash & tomatoes & rub seasoning in a bowl. In a small cup, whisk together sesame oil and balsamic vinegar & pour over the salad. Mix thorougly.

 

(*) The Steak & chicken rub is a spice blend I bought at Whole Foods Market sold under their 365 store brand. I'm just experimenting with it in a seitan pastrami recipe i'm making, and thought i'd see how it went in a salad. You can approximate your own. The ingredients list in the Rub says "black pepper, (granulated) garlic, sea salt, dill (seed), coriander, and chili peppers (chili flakes most likely).
