Tomato-Basil Freekeh Salad

This summertime salad riffs on the classic combination of tomatoes and basil. Freekeh, roasted green wheat, adds a subtle smoky flavor. Use any variety of tomatoes, depending on what looks best. You can also add cooked chickpeas to make a light meal. Enjoy any leftovers the next day for lunch or an afternoon snack.
