Southwestern Barley Salad image

Cilantro comes through in this colorful side that's zesty but not too spicy. It also makes a great luncheon dish when served with sesame breadsticks, sherbet and sugar cookies. It's sure to satisfy! -Tommi Roylance of Charlo, Montana

I love this salad! It's so versatile, and I can always find ingredients I have on hand. I've made it with barley, quinoa, and even rice. It's always delicious.

This salad was a hit at my last potluck! I used farro instead of barley, and added some chopped bacon. It was a great way to use up leftover grilled corn.
