This salad is also great as a make-ahead meal. Just assemble the salad and dressing ahead of time and then store it in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve.

I like to add a little bit of crumbled feta cheese to this salad for extra flavor.

The dressing is a little too tangy for my taste, but otherwise this salad is great.

I love the addition of barley to this salad. It gives it a nice chewy texture and makes it more filling.
