A novel use of barley

Only barley only in winter-hearty soups, this was a nice, innovative way to put barley back on the table year round. My husband made a point sev'l times of stating his approval of this recipe. Two cups of liquid was too little to cook it in though; I had to add another 1/2 cup broth. Also, as much as I like the taste of lemon, it was too tart; perhaps it was a recipe error using a 1/2 cup of lemon juice? I will make this again but will use a good vinaigrette dressing instead. If you like barley, it's worth a try.
Too Much Lemon!

I think there must be a typo or something, but 1/2 cup of lemon juice in the dressing made this salad very sour. We salvaged it by serving the salad on fresh unseasoned avocado slices.
Loved it!

My family loved this salad. I think I used a little extra lemon and it was just great. The barley had a great texture, it was a real treat.

I really like this recipe and enjoy taking it to cookouts. Be prepared: unhealthy people don't usually eat it. However, those who are tired of mayonaise, pasta, and bulky side dishes at gatherings are grateful for the change of pace!
Wonderful

I really like this salad, it very easy to make It was very tasty and fresh. I will make this again. I cut the parsley in half and added fresh mint to equal the 2/3 cup and a finely chopped clove of garlic.
Some small changes

The recipe is just fine the way it is, but it's a little short on flavor. So I added just a little better, I sprinkled a touch of feta cheese on top (looks nice, and adds a lot of flavor), and added garbanzo beans to the mix for protein. Then, it can be eaten as a convenient, take-to-work, one-dish meal that really gives me a lot of energy for the afternoon.
Excellent!

This salad quickly went to the top of my favorite salad list. It was easy to make and leftovers keep well. I will definately make this again.
Substituted avocados

I loved this recipe, although after reading the other reviews, I only used about half the lemon juice it called for, which tasted about right. I also don't like tomatoes, so I substituted a whole avocado, cut up into pieces, which was really good.
