Barley and Black Bean Salad

Recipes »  Salad  »  Bean

This is a quick, healthy lunch from health.com.

"I used medium barley instead of quick barley, but it worked out fine that way. I also did not use the red pepper flakes, but did use cilantro. Very flavorful and colorful dish! I plan to take this to my next cookout/potluck. I anticipate it being a big hit!"

I was cleaning out the cupboards and used quinoa and kidney beans instead and it still turned out great!

I added a little lemon zest before I juiced it. Wow. Great, filling meal. I also added a bit of avocado before serving.

This is so easy and yummy! The lemon juice makes it taste so fresh. I even substituted red peppers for green peppers and used cheese that I had in the refrigerator.
