Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 lb thin asparagus spears
2 cups water
1 cup uncooked quick-cooking barley
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 tsp dijon mustard
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups trimmed arugula or spinach
1 1/2 cups halved grape tomatoes
1/2 cup chopped red onion
1/3 cup (2 1/4 oz) small diced smoked part-skim mozzarella cheese

Snap off tough ends of asparagus; discard. Cut asparagus into 2-inch pieces.
Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a large nonstick skillet. Add asparagus; cook 1 minute or until bright green and crisp-tender. Drain and plunge into ice water; drain.

While barley cooks, combine olive oil and next 5 ingredients in a small bowl; stir well with a whisk.
