Up Your Grain Game With This Smoked Barley Beet Salad

Sweet, smoky, earthy and light. This little barley and beet recipe has spring dinners outside written all over it. Ann Taylor Pittman, a top editor for Cooking Light Magazine has written an entire cookbook on grains of every kind and we're all over it. Everyday Whole Grains is a treasure trove of healthy, entertaining-worthy recipes like this one. A few simple ingredients, one masterful kitchen skill and you're all set...

The Cooking Light Test Kitchen perfected a stovetop smoking technique (which works on gas and electric stovetops) that has changed my life. I now keep wood chips and disposable aluminum foil pans on hand because you never know when you might want to smoke something… like barley! A sweet vinaigrette, earthy beets and the bright citrus twang of grapefruit balance the robust smoky hit of the grains for a truly memorable salad. You can certainly make the salad without smoking the barley - just reduce the amount of honey to suit the milder flavor.
