Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups vegetable broth, low-sodium canned, or homemade
1 cup barley
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup chopped Kalamata olives
2 medium tomatoes, diced
1/2 English cucumber, diced
2/3 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Bring broth to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the barley, oil, and salt. Bring back to a boil, adjust heat to maintain a gentle simmer, cover and cook until tender, about 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes more. Drain excess liquid, if needed. Cool.
  • Meanwhile, whisk the lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a large serving bowl. Gradually whisk in the oil, starting with a few drops and then adding the rest in a steady stream, to make a smooth dressing. Add the barley and the remaining salad ingredients and toss to coat with the dressing. Serve.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some leftover zucchini and tomatoes, and this was a great way to use them up. The salad is flavorful and refreshing, and it's a great side dish for grilled chicken or fish.

I'm not a big fan of barley, but I really enjoyed this salad. The barley is cooked perfectly, and the dressing is delicious. I will definitely be making this again.

This salad is a great make-ahead dish. I made it the night before and it was even better the next day. The flavors had really melded together and the barley was even more tender.
