I love freekeh, the supergrain made from green wheat. It has a slightly smoky flavor and a chewy texture that’s comparable to wheatberries. In the summer, I love to make salad with it. This salad is inspired by tabouli--it’s loaded with parsley and mint. Fennel adds crunch and its own unique flavor, and the dressing is orange juice-based, which pairs nicely with the salty feta cheese. I have this salad for lunch on a bed of chopped romaine, and sometimes add some sliced avocado or marinated artichoke hearts.
