Add rinsed barley to boiling salted water and stir. Add a drop of oil to prevent boiling over. Cover, lower heat, and cook until tender, about 1 hour. Watch that the water doesn't evaporate because the barley will stick to the pan. Add small amounts of water as needed. Drain if needed and chill. Add the vegetables. Combine the lemon juice, oil, and seasonings and add them to the salad. Toss lightly to coat the ingredients. Salt lightly. Cover and chill at least 3 hours or overnight.
