Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups cooked pearled barley
  • 1/2 cup slivered almonds
  • 1 lb yellowfin tuna, flaked
  • 1 cup chopped kale
  • 1 cup chopped green leaf lettuce
  • 1 cup shredded carrots ( optional )
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Cook the Pearled Barley:
    Start by cooking the pearled barley according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain any excess water and set it aside to cool.
  • Toast the Slivered Almonds:
    In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the slivered almonds until they turn golden brown and emit a delightful aroma. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning. Once toasted, set them aside to cool.
  • Prepare the Tuna:
    Flake the yellowfin tuna into bite-sized pieces using a fork. Ensure that any skin or bones are removed. Packaged tuna is fine.
  • Assemble the Grain Bowl:
    In a large bowl, combine the cooked pearled barley, carrots, chopped kale, chopped green leaf lettuce, and flaked yellowfin tuna. Toss gently to distribute all the ingredients evenly.
  • Garnish and Serve:
    Sprinkle the toasted slivered almonds on top of the grain bowl, squeeze some fresh lemon juice, adding a delightful crunch and a nice citrus flavor. Your Tuna and Barley Grain Bowl is now ready to be enjoyed!
