Freekeh salad with blueberries combines freekeh—young wheat harvested while green, then roasted and cracked—with blueberries. Freekeh has long been used across the Middle East and is also familiar in Turkish cooking. Its gently smoky, nutty grain flavour contrasts with the berries’ sweet-tart freshness.
The cooked grains stay pleasantly chewy, while the blueberries bring a softer, juicy bite. Serve it at room temperature or chilled as a light lunch, or alongside grilled vegetables or a main dish; fresh herbs and a bright dressing are natural additions. It is a grain-based salad with fibre from both the freekeh and fruit. For a lighter version, keep the dressing modest and add extra greens.
