Instructions

Bring the barley and water to a boil, then cover and reduce to a simmer and let cook for about 25 minutes. I tend to add 2 1/2 cups water then check halfway through to see if I need the final 1/2 cup. I usually do, but I stir just to make sure nothing sticks.
After the time has elapsed, give the barley another stir, then cover, remove from heat and let stand another 5 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine cooled, cooked barley, watermelon, prasley, green onion, and chickpeas. Dress with lemon juice, olive oil, and season with kosher salt, pepper, and hot sauce to your preference.
Stir to combine and enjoy!
