Did you know gladiators were called “barley men” because they ate so much barley. They were mostly vegetarians! So if you think vegetables are for weaklings, think again!
.
This salad has a base of barley and then is topped with some Mediterranean accents to make it fully plant-based. Get creative and add what you like. Here’s some ideas!

Hearty Barley and Kale Bowl
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
- 2 cups cooked barley (or quinoa to save time)
- 1 cup thinly sliced, loosely packed kale
- ½ cup cooked cannellini or chickpeas beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 carrot, peeled and cut in strips (use veg peeler)
- 5 to 6 pitted Kalamata olives, sliced in half
- 1 cucumber, cut into small dice
- 2 tomatoes, diced
- ½ red onion, sliced
- 3 Tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 Tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tsp. honey (optional)
- ½ tsp. salt
- ¼ tsp. cracked black pepper
- 3 to 4 basil leaves, sliced thin
Make the dressing by combining the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper and honey, if using. Shake up in jar or whisk in bowl. Put ½ of the dressing on the kale and massage kale with hands for a couple minutes to tenderize it.
