INSTRUCTIONS
SERVINGS DAIRY-FREE Barley, an ancient grain with a newfound popularity, stars in this easy salad. It's nutritious, versatile and light enough for the dog days of summer. In medium saucepan, bring 2 1/2 cups of water to a boil. Add barley, reduce heat and simmer, covered, until barley is tender and water is absorbed, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove pan from heat and let barley cool to room temperature. In large bowl, combine barley with remaining ingredients except lettuce and feta cheese; mix well. Serve at room temperature or chilled. To serve, line each individual serving plates with a few lettuce leaves, then spoon salad into center. Sprinkle with feta cheese if desired. PER SERVING: 165 CAL.; 4G PROT.; 8G TOTAL FAT (1G SAT.
