Recipe ~ Barley Salad with Tomatoes and Corn

Barley is a source of B-complex vitamins and a good source of soluble fibre, the kind that helps to reduce blood cholesterol levels. I thought the salad was okay . .. but not exciting. My fellow testers seemed to feel the same way.

1 cup pearl barley

1 cup tightly packed fresh basil leaves

1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup olive oil

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

2 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups cherry tomatoes, halved

2 cups corn kernels, cooked

Bring large pot of water to boil; add barley. Reduce heat, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 50 minutes or until tender. Drain; chill under cold running water and drain again.

Meanwhile, in food processor or blender, puree basil, Parmesan, oil, salt and pepper ; stir in garlic. Toss with barley. add tomatoes and corn; toss again.

Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
