Ingredients
Method
In large bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar, parsley, mint, paprika, coriander, salt and pepper; set aside.In large pot of boiling salted water, cook freekeh for 40 minutes. Stir in Swiss chard; cook until freekeh is tender and Swiss chard is wilted, about 2 minutes. Drain well in fine-mesh sieve; let cool slightly. Add to dressing; toss to coat.
Stir in avocado and half each of the feta cheese and almonds; sprinkle with remaining feta cheese and almonds.
Tip from The Test Kitchen: To speed up your prep, cook the freekeh the night before and refrigerate it so it's ready to toss with the rest of the ingredients when you get home.
