Barley Salad

5 or 6 radishes, diced

1 red bell pepper, sliced

½ cup chopped mix herbs (your choice)

Dressing

3 tbsps. olive oil

3 tbsps. fresh lemon juice

2 cloves garlic, crushed

Salt to taste

• Allow barley to cool, and then add parsley, vegetables, and herbs.

• Mix well and chill for several hours before serving.
