To make a freekeh pilaf: Bring 2 cups water or broth and tsp of salt to a boil. Add 1 cup cracked rinsed freekeh, cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving. Makes 4 servings (about 3 cups).

Allow to cool.
Step 3
When cool, mix together the freekeh with the spring onions, pomegranate seeds, tomatoes, cucumbers and herbs. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 4
Whisk together the dressing ingredients and dress the salad with it, mixing gently. Serve topped with pistachio and extra pomegranate seeds.
