Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 cup olive oil
6 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth
2 cups barley
2 cups grape tomatoes, halved
1 7-ounce package feta cheese, crumbled (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 cup chopped fresh basil
1 cup chopped green onions
bag of baby spinach
14oz bag frozen cooked small shrimp

Steps:

  • Rinse barley, and place in a small bowl. Cover with water by about two inches, and let soak for about an hour. Drain. Whisk vinegar, lemon juice, and honey in small bowl. Gradually whisk in oil. Season vinaigrette with salt and pepper. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill.) Bring broth and 1/2 cup water to a boil in a large heavy saucepan. Stir in barley, reduce heat, cover, and boil until tender but still firm to bite, about 20 minutes. Drain. Transfer to large wide bowl. Mix tomatoes, feta, basil, green onions,shrimp and spinach into barley. Could also be served on top of spinach but I like it mixed in because it wilts a bit. Add vinaigrette -toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)

This salad is a great make-ahead meal. I often make it on the weekend and then eat it for lunch throughout the week.
