Method

1

Cook the barley: Rinse the pearl barley. In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add the barley, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 40-50 minutes, or until the barley is tender and the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and let cool slightly.

2

Prepare the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey, olive oil, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined.

3

Assemble the bowl: In a large bowl, combine the cooked barley, arugula, beets, and carrots.

4

Dress the bowl: Pour the balsamic-honey vinaigrette over the barley and vegetables. Toss gently to coat everything evenly.

5

Serve: Divide the barley bowl among serving dishes. If desired, top with crumbled feta cheese and toasted walnuts or pecans. Enjoy!
