Recipe for pearl barley salad with chicken patties
Colorful, healthy, and delicious – that’s exactly what you get in this menu; a flavorful spelt grain salad with crispy, tender, and healthy chicken patties – served with a freshly made guacamole – simple and good.
I added carrots and zucchini to the meat mixture for the patties, and they are breaded in panko breadcrumbs and spices – this gives tender patties with a super crispy “crust” and loads of flavor.
The salad is tossed in a fantastic dressing that puts the finishing touch on the meal, and the guacamole adds a creamy deliciousness.
This dish is great for dinner, but it also works well in a lunchbox, as both the salad and patties taste great cold too.
