Detox Salad | Beet Barley Broccoli Salad

Beet Barley and Broccoli Salad:

BBB Salad or beetroot, barley and broccoli salad is a healthy and filling salad made with three super food ingredients. This salad is the vegan version of the popular BBB salad.

Barley is known as one of the superfood grains that have a nutty taste and pasta-like texture. It has Magnesium, Selenium, Vitamin B1, Niacin, Copper, Molybdenum, and dietary fibers. Incorporating barley in the diet can help in reducing the risk of diabetes, heart disease, constipation, and weight management benefits.

Additionally, beet and broccoli help in cleansing the body from toxic chemicals and make the salad more delicious to enjoy. After all, the diet shouldn’t be boring. Right??

Basic Ingredients for salad.

We only need three basic ingreints to make this salad i.e,

• First, Beetroots-Fresh or boiled beets.
• Broccoli-Fresh or frozen.
• Barley- Small sized pearl barely.

How to make BBB Salad?

First step is to blanch the broccoli and cook the pearl barley as per package instructions. Once barley is ready, add the blanched broccoli and beetroot along with the dressing and viola the healthy detox salad is ready to serve.

Can we use some other grains instead of barley?

Yes, of course, you may use any kind of grain like Farro, giant couscous or even millets and or pasta to make this salad. Though with pasta it won’t help in detoxing.

Storage and Servings?

Leftovers can be stored in refrigerator for 2-3 days inside air tight boxes but make sure to not add the dressing if storing it to eat later.
