BARLEY VEGETABLE SALAD



Barley Vegetable Salad image

I first made the original version of this about 20 years ago -- Jane Brody's Crunchy Barley Salad. After years of experimenting with it, the most recent incarnation is my favorite yet. Though it can be served warm or cold, I prefer it after it has chilled for several hours at least (overnight is best!).
