Rinse the barley in a fine sieve. Bring 4 1/2 cups of water to a boil in a heavy saucepan. Stir in the barley, return to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, until the water is absorbed, about 45 to 50 minutes. Let the barley cool to room temperature. Heat the oil in a small skillet. Add the onion and sauté over moderate heat until golden brown. In a serving dish, combine the barley, onion, apricots, almonds, and parsley, and toss together. In a small mixing bowl, combine the dressing ingredients. Pour over the barley mixture and toss well to combine. Serve at room temperature.
