Barley Salad

This is also called a Farro Salad and is from the mediterranean area. It's basically cooked barley with loads of fresh vegetables and a vinaigrette. I'm providing a basic recipe, but you can play with the ingredients to your own liking.

Farro Salad
1 to 1 1/2 cups cooked barley, cooled
Two Large Ripe Tomatoes roughly chopped
1 Large cucumber peeled and seeded then chopped
3 spring onion chopped
1/2 cup favorite cheese grated or chopped in very small chunks
1 cup favorite vinaigrette (I used a champagne vinaigrette)

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and chill for at least one hour for flavors to blend.

Enjoy!
