Directions
45 min.
1. Step
Bring the 2 cups of water to a boil in a medium-sized pot. I've found that the key to a well-cooked freekeh is to ensure that it's fully submerged in the water.
2. Step
Add the freekeh to the boiling water, let it simmer on medium heat for about 25-30 minutes. It should achieve a firm yet chewy texture. Once it's ready, drain the freekeh and let it cool.
3. Step
While the freekeh is cooling, we can prepare our veggies. Make sure to wash the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, olives, fresh mint, and parsley before you start chopping.
4. Step
Combine the cooled freekeh, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, Kalamata olives, and Feta cheese in a large salad bowl. Add in the finely chopped mint and parsley. Remember, the finer the herbs are chopped, the more evenly their flavor will be distributed throughout the salad. It's all about balance!
5. Step
Just before serving, dress the salad with the freshly squeezed lemon juice and olive oil. This adds a fresh and zesty taste that really complements the earthy flavors of the freekeh. Season with salt and pepper to your preference. Always taste and adjust the seasoning, as it is key for the perfect Freekeh Salad.
6. Step
Give the salad a final toss to ensure everything is mixed well and coated with the dressing. Serve immediately and enjoy!
