QuantityIngredientAdd
2 c. water
½ c. uncooked hulled whole or pearled barley
¼ c. minced fresh parsley
½ c. grated carrot
½ c. diced cucumber
½ c. diced provolone cheese
1 ¼ tsp. dried oregano
½ c. shredded radicchio
4 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
Juice of one large lemon
Salt to taste
4 to 6 large beefsteak tomatoes

  1. Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add the barley, cover, reduce the heat, and simmer until tender about 20 to 40 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water. Transfer to a large bowl.
  2. Stir in the parsley, carrot, cucumber, cheese, oregano, radicchio, olive oil, lemon juice and salt. Mix to combine and set aside.
