Chickpea Barley Salad

This is my new favorite summer "salad". I came up with this recipe because I had quite a bit of fresh parsley to use up.

Ingredients:

1 cup dried barley, cooked to package specifications
1 cup loosely packed fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 cup diced red onion
1 cucumber, deseeded and peeled
2 medium tomatoes, chopped and deseeded
1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 T. balsamic vinegar
salt and pepper to taste

1. Cook barley
2. Prepare all vegetables
3. Put fresh parsley, red onion, cucumber, tomatoes, chickpeas, and barley in a bowl
4. Mix extra virgin olive oil and vinegar in a small bowl. Add salt and pepper
5. Combine veggies and dressing. Sprinkle with more salt and pepper if needed.

Ingredients in the bowl:
