Barley & Tofu salad/Barley Salad/Tofu salad
Barleyis being researched for its ability to help alleviate diabetes, high cholesterol, and obesity. Some evidence suggests that barley in the diet may improve blood sugar levels in individuals with diabetes, possibly because the fiber in barley seeds delays stomach emptying and slows down the absorption of carbohydrates from foods. Like oatmeal, barley seeds contain both soluble and insoluble types of fiber that may help to lower cholesterol. Studies have shown that individuals with barley in their diet experienced reductions in their total cholesterol, LDL - the bad cholesterol, or triglyceride levels.
This healthful and comforting Barley salad with tofu, walnuts and cilantro in a lemon-garlic vinaigrette served with a cup of fresh-brewed coffee is perfect for a cool fall night.
List of Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup cooked barley
- 1/2 cup crumbled tofu

- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
- few lemon zest
- finely chopped cilantro
- salt and fresh ground pepper
Procedure:
- Cook the barley until tender ( do not over cook ).
- Dry roast the walnuts in a pan, when cool chop finely and keep aside.

That salad does look appetising Cilantro. I might use paneer instead of tofu. :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and healthy looking salade.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen barley as a grain, can u post a seperate picture of barley, so that I can look for that when I go shopping
ReplyDeleteSharmila,
ReplyDeletePaneer should taste better than the tofu. I prefer tofu not for the tatse but try to inlude them as much as possible, infact it is a bit difficult to make my daughter eat tofu.

ReplyDeleteAbout the annatto - the good thing about it is that it is almost odourless so you never have to worry about affecting the flavour of your food.

As a food, barley is most often used in soups and stews. In Asia, is boiled to make barley water, a popular drink which is ideal for hot weather.vladimir vrbaski republika
