There’s something about grain salads that just scream Christmas lunch to me, and this freekeh and buckwheat pomegranate salad is no exception. It’s colourful, delicious and even healthy – which I know isn’t necessarily a requirement for Christmas day!
Freekeh is one of those ingredients that seemingly burst onto menus out of nowhere, and whilst I have eaten it out a few times I had never actually cooked with it. When I came across some at the market during our weekend in Daylesford I knew I needed to bring some home with me, and its first use is in this asparagus freekeh salad!
