Time 25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup pearl barley
Salt
1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped basil or oregano leaves
2 tablespoons sliced chives
1 cup diced red tomatoes
Freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces baby arugula leaves, rinsed and thoroughly dried
3 tablespoons fresh goat cheese, optional

Steps:

  • Rinse barley, place in a bowl and cover with 4 cups of water. Soak for several hours or overnight.
  • Transfer barley and soaking water to a medium saucepan. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until tender and most or all of water is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, if using frozen corn, cook according to package directions; fresh corn does not need to be cooked.
  • If necessary, drain excess water from barley. Return to pot and immediately add corn; mix well. In a large bowl, mix together oil and vinegar. Add basil or oregano, and chives. Add barley mixture and tomatoes, and mix gently. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • To serve, spread arugula on a platter. Top with corn and barley salad. Garnish with dollops of goat cheese, if desired, and serve.
