Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup pearl barley, rinsed
⅓ cup dried apricots, coarsely chopped
⅓ cup raisins
⅓ cup dried cherries or dried cranberries
⅓ cup slivered almonds
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium red onion, coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
½ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook barley in boiling water, uncovered, over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 40 minutes. Add dried fruit and cook 1 minute more. Drain barley mixture well and transfer to a large bowl.
  • Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Toast almonds in a small rimmed baking sheet or pie pan until golden, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool.
  • While barley cooks and nuts toast, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Cook onion, stirring occasionally, until browned around edges, 6 to 8 minutes. Add onion to barley and toss to combine.
  • Whisk together mustard, honey, vinegar, and salt in a small bowl. Whisk in remaining tablespoon oil and pour dressing over salad. Toss well. Sprinkle salad with toasted almonds and toss lightly.

I've made this salad twice now and it's been a hit both times. The first time I followed the recipe exactly, and the second time I made a few substitutions (I used quinoa instead of barley and added some chopped walnuts). Both versions were delicious
