Directions: |
Directions:Cook barley the night before: 2.5 c. water to 1 c. barley 40 minutes or so. Check on it because depending on whether you're using pearl barley or pot barley the amount of water and cooking time varies. I used pearl barley with 2 cups of water and 1 cup of barley and it was done in half an hour. It's okay to peek to see if it's done! Allow to cool. Drain barley and set aside.
Combine remaining ingredients.
Toss in the cooked barley.
In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, minced garlic and lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then toss into barley salad, stirring to combine well. Add more salt and pepper to taste. Serve room temperature or cold. |
