Spelt Salad

Ingredients

• 150 g spelt grains
• 2 red onions
• 1 cucumber
• 100 g pitted black olives
• 200 g Feta Cheese
• 20 g basil (about one handful)
• 1 Organic lemon
• 4 tbsp white wine vinegar
• 1 tsp Honey
• 6 tbsp Olive oil
• Salt
• Pepper

Instructions

1. 1.

   Soak the spelt overnight in water. Rinse it under a sieve, then cover with fresh water and bring to a boil in a pot. Cover and simmer gently for about 25 minutes until cooked. Drain and let cool.

2. 2.

   While the spelt cooks, peel and slice the onions into rings. Wash, trim, and thinly slice the cucumber. Halve the olives and cube the feta. Rinse the basil, shake off excess water, and roughly chop it. Wipe a hot lemon clean, pat dry, grate its zest finely, and squeeze out the juice.

3. 3.

   Whisk together vinegar, honey, and olive oil. Season with salt, pepper, lemon juice, and zest, then gently fold in the remaining salad ingredients. Arrange the spelt salad on plates and serve immediately.
