YOGURT OR BUTTERMILK SOUP WITH TOASTED BARLEY
I was cleaning out the refrigerator as well as my pantry when I put together this refreshing summer soup. If you can't get organic or Greek yogurt, free of gums and stabilizers, use buttermilk.

Steps:
- Heat a heavy, medium-size saucepan over medium-high heat, and add the barley. Stir or shake in the pan until it begins to smell toasty, about five minutes. Add the water and salt (to taste, about 1/2 teaspoon), and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, and simmer until tender, about 45 minutes. Remove from the heat, drain and set aside.
- While the barley is cooking, place the cucumber in a bowl and sprinkle with salt. Toss and place in a strainer set over the bowl. Allow to drain for 30 minutes. Rinse well and drain on paper towels.
- Combine all the ingredients except the mint. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Chill for one hour or longer. Serve, garnishing each bowl with the mint.
