Freekeh is young wheat that has been roasted and cracked. It has a slightly green hue and nutty flavor with a satisfyingly chewy texture. If you can’t find freekeh, coarsely cracked bulgur wheat or pearled faro would be good substitutes. This pretty salad can be made a day ahead, which makes it perfect for meal-prepping and party-throwing. It's also an easy dish to bring to a pot-luck party, where it is sure to be a big hit. Pack up any leftovers to enjoy for lunch.

Spoon freekeh into large shallow bowl and allow to cool slightly. Stir in remaining 1⁄2 tsp salt, lemon juice, oil, and cardamom. Gently toss in oranges, pomegranate seeds, and mint.
