This salad is a great way to use up leftover corn on the cob. It's also a great make-ahead dish for busy weeknights.

This salad is a bit bland. I would recommend adding more herbs or spices to give it more flavor.

I'm not a big fan of arugula, so I used spinach instead. It turned out great!

I love the combination of flavors and textures in this salad. The barley is chewy, the corn is sweet, the arugula is peppery, and the green beans add a nice crunch.

I'm not usually a fan of barley, but this salad changed my mind. The barley was cooked perfectly and had a nice chewy texture. The dressing was also delicious and really brought all the flavors together.

This salad was a hit at my summer barbecue! The combination of barley, corn, arugula, and green beans was refreshing and flavorful. I especially loved the tangy dressing.
