Instructions
- Cook barley according to package instructions. Drain.
- Toast walnuts in a small skillet. This should only take 5-6 minutes. Let cool.
- Start dressing by adding minced onion in a small bowl with the vinegar. Let marinate while you prep the salad.
- Chop 1 1/2 pears and save remaining half for fanning and decorating salad.
- Add cooked barley, chickpeas, pears, sun dried tomatoes, walnuts, arugula, parsley and feta into a large bowl.
- Add oil, maple syrup, mustard, oregano, salt and pepper into the bowl with the vinegar and red onion. Whisk until combined. Pour dressing over salad mixture and toss to coat. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Notes
- 1 cup of uncooked barley will yield about 3 1/2 cups cooked barley.
- I used dry-packed sun-dried tomatoes.
