Spelt salad

Salads made from cereals - such as barley, spelt or mixed cereals - are exceptionally good for us, which is why it is a good idea to eat more of them. Moreover, you can enjoy cereals every day, varying the type, flavour and dressings so as not to make your meals monotonous. In this recipe we suggest spelt with fresh radishes, tomatoes and basil, but you can customize the recipe according to what’s hanging around in your fridge, growing in your garden or simply according to taste and imagination.
