Bean & Barley Salad

This is my sister Jessica's favorite salad so I decided to make it today so it would be ready for her when she gets home from work.  

It's a refreshing light salad with a nice little punch of flavor.

  1. Yum! I love chick peas and beans. This sounds like a salad that would fill you up nicely. Without being hungry an hour later.
