Start by rinsing one cup of pharaoh under cold water. Then cook it in salted boiling water for about 25 minutes until tender but still slightly firm. Drain and let it cool. In a large bowl, combine the pharaoh with one chopped cucumber, one cup of hald cherry tomatoes, half a red onion finely sliced, and a handful of chopped fresh parsley. For the dressing, whisk together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, the juice of one lemon, salt, and pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well to combine. Optional additions include crumbled feta cheese or olives for extra flavor. Pharaoh salad is fresh, hearty, and perfect as a light lunch or a healthy side dish.
