[roxy]

O.K. Before any one says something I like Barley and I think it works great in all sorts of summer salads. Here's another one I made up today for dinner.

Roxy's Greek style barley salad

1 cup Pearl barley
1 cup diced english cucumber
3/4 cup diced red onion
3/4 cup diced Roma tomatoes
3 green onions, chopped
1/2 cup kalamata olives
3/4 cup feta cheese, diced
3/4 cup roasted red pepper, chopped
2 tbsp mined fresh oregano
3 garlic cloves, mined
1/8 cup parsley, minced
zest from 1 lemon, minced
juice from half a lime
juice from half a lemon
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp fresh cracked pepper
1 tsp salt
1/4 cup Greek salad dressing

- Place barley and 4 cups of water in a medium sauce pan and bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, cover and cook for 35 to 45 minutes until barley is tender. Rinse well under cold water in a strainer.

- place all ingredients in a large salad bowl and adjust seasoning, maybe add more lemon juice, salt etc till its to your taste.

- add barley and incorporate well. Chill in fridge for one hour or so..
