We have had a box of barley in our pantry for about a year. I didn't really have a clue what to do with it, so I thought about it for a while (ok, a long while). Since it's been really warm lately, I thought maybe some type of salad would be good. So, off I went to www.allrecipes.com and sure enough-I found a recipe that sounded really good-barley, corn, black beans, peas, and more-what's not to love?! This salad was beautiful, very colorful, refreshing and tasty. Now I wonder why that box of barley sat in the pantry for so long!

You rock... because I have barley that I haven't used in ages and this recipe is totally doable! Thanks for sharing :)
Thanks Joelen! I added a picture. This salad was great! The recipe called for cilantro also, but I was out.
