Black Bean and Barley Salad:081:
1-1/2 cups water
1/2 cup pearled barley
1 cup black beans
3/4 cup corn kernels, thawed if frozen
3/4 cup Italian style peeled tomatoes, drained and chopped
1/2 cup green peas, thawed if frozen
1/2 avocado, chopped
2 tbsp cilantro, chopped
1/4 cup water
1 tbs lemon juice
1 scallion, white part only, finely chopped
1-1/2 tsp olive oil
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/4 lb packaged salad
Bring water to a boil in a heavy pot. Add barley and reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer 35-40 minutes until water has evaporated and barley is tender. Remove from heat. Transfer barley to a cookie sheet. Spread barley out to cool briefly. While barley is cooking, combine next 7 ingredients and salt to taste in a salad bowl. Cover and refrigerate until barley is cooled. Combine remaining ingredients, except lettuce, in a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Shake vigorously until emulsified. Set aside. Transfer cooled barley to bean and vegetable mixture. Toss. Add dressing and toss again. Serve on a bed of lettuce. 4 servings = about 185 calories
