Chop all the veggies and set aside the required amount.
Cook the barley, as I mentioned in the post.
Steps-
In a bowl, add all the ingredients. Add the chili-lime seasoning, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix and check for seasoning.
Adjust the spices according to your preference. Garnish it with cilantro and serve right away. Mix the veggies and seasonings just before serving; if not, the salad will become soggy.
Notes
Adjust the veggies and the measure as per your liking.
Instead of chile-lime dressing, you can add salt and pepper as per your taste.
Lemon zest is optional.
Instead of cooked barley, you can add any cooked beans of your choice.
For this veggie measure, you can add ⅓ cup to ½ cup of cooked barley. If you are getting acquired to barley taste, start with ⅓ cup and increase it slowly.
