Ashura Wheat Salad
Ashura Wheat Salad
A refreshing and colorful salad made with CEREN Ashura Wheat, fresh vegetables, and a tangy lemon dressing. Best served cold, especially during warm days.
Ingredients
- 1 cup CEREN Ashura Wheat
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 2 tomatoes, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- ½ bunch fresh parsley, finely chopped
- Juice of ½ lemon
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried mint
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
Cook the wheat: Rinse the CEREN Ashura Wheat and boil it in plenty of water for 25–30 minutes, or until tender but not mushy. Drain well and spread it on a tray to cool faster.
Prepare the vegetables: Dice cucumber, tomatoes, and bell pepper into small, uniform pieces so they blend well with the wheat. Finely chop the parsley for freshness.
Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, dried mint, and salt until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Combine everything: Place cooled wheat in a large salad bowl. Add chopped vegetables and parsley. Pour the dressing on top and toss gently until everything is well coated.
Chill and serve: For the best flavor, let the salad rest in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes before serving. Serve cold as a side dish or a light meal.
