Pearl barley salad

One of my favourite salads is one based on boiled pearl barley. I love pearl barley salad, because it is filling, fresh and easy to make.

I do quite a few variations on this salad, but the boiled barley is at the core of each variation.

It tasted great with the beef steak by the way.
