Mediterranean Barley Salad Recipe

Mediterranean Barley Salad Recipe

  • 1 cup barley
  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 7 sun-dried tomatoes
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro
  • 1 (4 ounce) can chopped black olives
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  1. Bring barley and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the barley is tender, but still slightly firm in the center, about 30 minutes. Drain and cool to room temperature in a bowl.
  2. Puree the sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and balsamic vinegar in a blender until smooth. Pour over the barley. Fold in the cilantro, olives, and remaining olive oil until blended. Cover, and refrigerate until cold. Stir before serving.
