Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 cups barley, rinsed
Salt
1/4 cup diced red onion
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 green bell pepper, cored and diced
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons capers
1 garlic clove, minced
2 cups diced watermelon
1 cup cooked black-eyed peas or one 15-ounce can black-eyed peas, drained
1 cup halved grape tomatoes
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded and diced
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/2 cup chopped curly parsley

I thought this salad was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This salad was okay, but I wouldn't make it again. I found the barley to be a bit too chewy.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my salad didn't turn out as good as the picture. It was still tasty, but not as visually appealing.

This salad was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning.

This is a great summer salad - refreshing and light. I added some grilled shrimp for extra protein and it was perfect.
