GRILLED CHICKEN BARLEY SALAD
Wonderful salad/main dish that we often go for on a hot summer evening. Serve with crusty bread and a glass of wine :) The olive oil accounts for 20% of calories in this recipe - for a lighter version you can substitute some of the olive oil with lemon juice. UPDATE June 28 - I agree with both reviewers - the recipe is better with less oil. I am reducing the oil and increasing the lemon in the recipe - so pleae note that the new version reflects this change

[email protected]This grilled chicken barley salad was a hit with my family! The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the barley was cooked perfectly. The dressing was light and tangy, and it really brought all the flavors together.
