Recipe // Barley Salad

June 27, 2013

I love to make a large batch of light salads during that summer that I can pack up for a picnic at a moments notice, or pull out of the fridge for a quick lunch!  I love pairing barely with some fresh vegetables including spring peas, and olives.  Drizzled with a light vinaigrette, it is the perfect summer salad!

4 cups barley cooked according to package directions

1/2 cucumber, peeled and diced

1 cup grape tomatoes, sliced

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

Mix and place in fridge for 30 minutes then serve.
Enjoy!
