Instructions:

Step 1: Cook the Pearl Barley

In a saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Add the Perla barley and reduce the heat to low. Cover the saucepan and let it simmer for about 30 minutes or until the barley is tender. Once cooked, drain any excess liquid and allow it to cool.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pearl barley, diced cucumber, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, chopped red onion, halved cherry tomatoes, fresh parsley, and mint leaves. Toss them gently to mix well.

Step 4: Dress the Salad

In a separate small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Pour this dressing over the salad and toss again to evenly coat all the ingredients.

Step 5: Chill and Serve

Once the salad is dressed, cover the bowl with a plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together. Before serving, give it a final toss and adjust the seasoning if needed.
