The flavor and texture of barley are similar to that of pasta, so we combined it with the typical pasta salad ingredients. Ingredients:
2 cups water |
1/2 cup uncooked pearl barley |
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 cups finely chopped seeded tomato |
1 cup thinly sliced spinach |
1/2 cup finely chopped green bell pepper |
1/2 cup chopped seeded peeled cucumber |
1/2 cup (2 ounces) diced part-skim mozzarella cheese |
1/4 cup finely chopped pepperoncini peppers |
2 teaspoons dry oregano |
Directions:
1. Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add barley; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 45 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water; drain.
2. Combine the juice, oil, and salt in large bowl; stir well with a whisk. Add barley, tomato, and remaining ingredients; toss gently to coat.
