Ingredients
Salad:
- 2 cups vegetable broth, low-sodium canned, or homemade
- 1 cup barley
- 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup chopped Kalamata olives
- 2 medium tomatoes, diced
- 1/2 English cucumber, diced
- 2/3 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
Dressing:
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
- 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. Drain excess liquid, if needed. Cool.
Meanwhile, whisk the lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a large serving 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. Add the barley and the remaining salad ingredients and toss to coat with the dressing. Serve.

I LOVE this salad. It's quickly become a favorite at summer parties and holidays. I've added feta to it before and it comes out nicely.

I loved the salad! I took to the recommendations and used half of the lemon juice, only 1/4 of a cup. I could have used a little more. You also dont need to cook the barley as much as they say. Mine only took 15 mins. I would add a little more liquid next time.

Really delicious! I also added the garbonzo beans and only used 3 T of lemon juice. That was plenty of lemon flavor. Also added feta cheese. Very simple and very tasty.
