Ingredients
- 1 cup pearl barley rinsed & drained, dry
- 3 cups water
- 1 cup watermelon about 1/2 inch cubes, finely diced
- 1 parsley finely diced(flat or curly, whichever you like. I used curly but flat has more flavour, packed cup
- 2 green onions greens and whites finely diced
- 1 cup chickpeas about 1/2 a can, cooked
- 2 lemon juiced (about 5 tbsp, plural
- 1-2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp kosher salt or to taste
- 1/2 tsp black pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp hot sauce like Frank's or Tabasco
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!
