Bountiful Barley Salad

submitted by butterflydog

1 1/2 cups raw barley
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup red chopped onion
1/4 cup canned black pitted olives chopped
2 Tbsp fresh chopped parsley
2 Tbsp fresh chopped basil
1 large red tomato chopped
salt and fresh grated black pepper
1/2 tsp smoked paprika or to taste

Having vegetarian relatives, I experimented and created this colorful
delicious salad which got raves. No dressing was needed. Just the
seasoning with the feta cheese made a wonderful flavor and colorful
salad. Please use fresh herbs, garden tomatoes and smoked paprika for the
best flavor. Rinse barley , drain and cook by package directions (
usually takes about one hour stove top ). Drain , rinse and drain well
again.. Place barley in a large serving bowl and add and mix in the
remaining ingredients. One may add more of everything to taste. Serve at
room temperature or chilled. I was also thinking next time I make this
salad to also add cooked roasted corn kernels.
Yield : 8 to 10 servings.
