Spring Broccoli Barley Salad with Citrus Dressing
I love the bright notes of citrus in this spring salad, loaded with liver cleansing barley. Perfect for balancing out increased kapha that comes along with the season. You can prepare the entire thing while the barley cooks, then just combine it all for a delicious lunch.
Skillet Nicoise with Trout and Farro

ABC Spring Barley Bowl
This Arugula (A), Beets (B), and Carrots (C) Barley Bowl is an easy and nourishing spring lunch. Barley, both sweet and astringent, is one of my absolute favorite spring grains that keeps me satisfied long after the meal, helping to prevent the urge to snack, and the honey is a wonderfully tasty component that removes the built up toxins from the winter season.
