Freekeh Salad with Feta and Pomegranate

Packed full of natural goodness, freekeh is a superfood with a lovely nutty, slightly smokey flavour.  A delicious salad on its own or perfect with griddled chicken for a healthy supper.  Will last a couple of days in fridge, boxes well for lunch on-the-go.  

100g cooked freekah (or red quinoa mix)
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
350g Frozen or fresh broad beans (or soya beans)
100g bag of rocket
25g pack fresh mint
25g pack flat leaved parsley
1 Large (or 2 smaller) lemon, zest and juice
3 Tbs olive oil
salt and pepper

Garnish:
100g pomegranate seeds
100g feta

In a food processor, blitz the rocket and herbs until finely chopped.

Blanch the broad beans in boiling water for 2 minutes, drain well, run under cold water (which should set the colour)

When you ready to eat, assemble the salad by mixing all the ingredients together and garnish with pomegranate seeds and crumbled feta.

Serves 4-6
