How to Make Barley And Edamame Salad Ww

  1. Rinse 1 cup of barley thoroughly under cold water.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed barley with 2 cups of water and bring to a boil.
  3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes, or until the barley is tender but still slightly firm.
  4. Drain the cooked barley in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse under cold water until completely cool. Drain again thoroughly.
  5. Transfer the cooled barley to a large bowl.
  6. Add 1 cup shelled edamame (fresh or frozen, thawed), 1/2 cup chopped red onion, 1/2 cup chopped cucumber, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, and 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional).
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to taste.
  8. Pour the dressing over the barley and edamame mixture and toss gently to combine.
  9. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Garnish with extra parsley, if desired.
