Ingredients

Salad:

  • 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth, low-sodium canned, or homemade
  • 1 cup barley
  • 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup chopped dried apricots
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted
  • 1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 scallion (white and green parts), thinly sliced

Dressing:

  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Directions

Bring broth to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the barley, oil, and salt. Bring back to a boil, adjust heat to maintain a gentle simmer, cover and cook until tender, about 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes more.

Meanwhile make the dressing: Whisk the lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in the oil, starting with a few drops and then adding the rest in a steady stream, to make a smooth dressing.

Drain excess liquid from barley, if needed. Transfer to a bowl and toss with the remaining salad ingredients and dressing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

    Different side dish!

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    This was a very nice side dish to accompany some pork chops that I made. The one thing I would change is to reduce the... amount. It's just me and my husband, but I went ahead and made the whole recipe. There was WAY too much leftover, even eating it with lunch for the next couple of days. Other than that, great!!Read more

    bland ... blah

    Rated: 2 stars out of 5
    I just didn't like it that much. A few small spoonfuls is nice to go along with a more flavorful meal, but I can only take... this salad in small quantities. My tastebuds were bored!Read more
