Tenderstem, Rye Kernel and Tarragon Salad

Soak the grains for 24 hours, then boil until just tender (about 22 minutes). Drain and leave to cool (alternatively you can use ready-to-eat quinoa)

Mix together all the ingredients for the vinaigrette.

Blanch the Tenderstem in boiling water until just tender (around 3-4 minutes)

Add all the salad ingredients, including the Tenderstem to a bowl and crumble in your chosen cheese. Season. Drizzle vinaigrette over salad just before serving.

Grilled chicken can be added for a meatier salad.

Tip: If you can’t get hold of whole rye grains, you can substitute with boiled wheat berries, quinoa or other preferred grains.
