OCTOBER 3 2012NINETEEN : BARLEY & POMEGRANATE SALAD
Be honest... do any of you actually buy pomegranates? Despite their tastiness, I never do because they are so darn frustrating to eat! But Mr. O has changed everything with his surprisingly effective (and really quite fun) method of extracting the seeds safely from the intricate membranes. Simply halve the pomegranate, hold it in your palm, cut side down, over a bowl and whack the crap out of it. And the seeds immediately start cascading through your fingers and into the waiting bowl. Had a frustrating day at work? Maybe you need to seed some pomegranates to get out that aggression!

| WHACK! |
Other than the 30-40 minutes needed to cook the barley, this salad comes together quickly. It is really very simple. Just barley, diced celery and pomegranate seeds in a tangy sherry vinegar dressing laced with garlic and chopped dill. And the flavors all compliment each other so well. Love it!
