Barley, Beet, And Feta Salad
- 1 pound beets
- 4 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
- 1 1/2 cups uncooked pearl barley
- 2 cups trimmed arugula
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
- 1 (4-ounce) package crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons fennel seeds
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- Leave root and 1 inch stem on beets; scrub with a brush. Place in a medium saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 35 minutes or until tender. Drain and rinse with cold water, and cool. Trim off beet roots, and rub off skins. Cut beets into 1/4-inch-wide wedges.
- Bring the chicken broth to a boil in a large saucepan. Add the barley; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 40 minutes. Remove from heat; cool.
- Combine the barley, arugula, walnuts, and cheese in a large bowl. Combine vinegar and remaining ingredients in a small bowl. Pour the vinegar mixture over the barley mixture, tossing to coat. Top with beets.
