Got this at ShopRite® and loved it so much I had to make it. This is what I came up with. I had this alongside my smoked chicken and bacon with avocado spread sandwich. Perfect complement! All the ingredients for the vinaigrette are by eye and to taste.

1 cup pearl barley
2 cups water
½ (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
½ green bell pepper, chopped
½ red bell pepper, chopped
1 (8.75 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained

I love the versatility of this salad. I've made it with different types of beans, corn, and even quinoa instead of barley. It's always delicious.

This is a great recipe for meal prep. I made a big batch on Sunday and ate it for lunch all week. It held up really well and was just as tasty on day five as it was on day one.

I'm not usually a fan of barley, but this salad changed my mind. The barley was cooked perfectly and had a great texture. The dressing was also delicious and really brought all the flavors together.

I've been on a barley kick lately, and this salad is the perfect way to satisfy my craving. It's light and refreshing, with just the right amount of tang from the lime dressing. I also love the pop of color from the red onion and cherry tomatoes.
