Barley Wild Rice Salad with Basil Orange Pesto

This sounds good on a sunny day like today is supposed to be:

1/2 cup dry regular or quick-cook barley
1/2 cup wild rice
1 cup diced cucumber
1 cup packed fresh lemon basil leaves*
1/4 cup hazelnuts
2 T. EVOO
2 cloves of garlic
Zest and juice of one orange
1/4 t. sea salt*

Cook barley and wild rice in separate saucepans according to package directions. Transfer grains to a colander, and rinse under cool water; set aside. Pulse basil, hazelnuts, oil, garlic, zest, juice and salt in a food processor or blender until minced. Toss grains with cucumber and pesto until coated. Chill and savor!

Another gorgeous day on tap, so get out and have FUN in the SUN!!!

Love,
