This salad is very bland. I would add some herbs or spices to give it more flavor.

The barley took forever to cook. I ended up simmering it for 45 minutes instead of 30.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my salad turned out a bit too sour. I think I would use less lemon juice next time.

I'm not a huge fan of barley, but I really enjoyed this salad. The barley was cooked perfectly and the dressing was very flavorful.

The dressing is delicious, but I added extra pepper because I like things a bit spicy.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover corn. I had some leftover roasted corn from a cookout, and it worked perfectly in this salad.

I love the versatility of this salad. I added some grilled chicken to make it a main course, and it was delicious. I also think it would be great served as a side dish with grilled fish or roasted vegetables.
