Ingredients
-
1 cup pearled barley
½ of a cucumber
1 large tomato
½ cup garbanzo beans
½ cup frozen peas
½ cup frozen corn
1 large carrot
1 stalk celery
several (4-5) jumbo black olives
garlic
1 tbsp olive oil
¼ cup + 2 tbsp low/fat italian dressing
Directions
1. Cook the 1 cup barley according to package instructions (you should get 4 cups of cooked barley as a result).
2. After the barley's cooked for about 25-30 minutes (it takes 45 for mine), heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, celery and carrot and lightly sautee until the carrot and celery softens a little (about 5 minutes).
3. Add the peas, corn, and garbanzo beans to warm through (again, about 5 minutes).
4. Remove from heat, chop the remaining vegetables to satisfactory sizes.
5. Once the barley has finished cooking, toss all the ingredients together in a large bowl & enjoy!
Makes 4 servings for a light lunch, or 6-8 if using as a sidedish.
I like to eat mine over a bed of salad greens with a couple of slices of avocado for a light lunch. :)
