Barley Salad

I had half a box of barley just sitting in my cupboard so I tried this… fantastic! I had a number of omissions though. I had to leave out the wine because I am pregnant, and I left out the balsamic vinegar, green onions and mint simply because some in our house don’t care for them. Our barley also was the long-cooking kind, so I had to adjust the cooking time and amounts of liquid & barley according to the box. With all that though, it was a big hit! My favorite part is running across a chunk of feta and tomato in the same bite! I can easily see this becoming a staple summer side dish when chilled, as well as a warm filling side during the winter. So versatile!
