Barley-Vegetable Salad

1. In a medium saucepan combine the 1-1/4 cups water and barley. Bring to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 10 to 12 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Cool.

2. Meanwhile, for dressing, in a screw-top jar combine lime juice, cilantro, oil, the 1 tablespoon water, salt, and ground red pepper. Cover and shake well.

3. In a large salad bowl combine barley, corn, green pepper, sweet red pepper, and green onion. Shake dressing. Pour dressing over barley mixture; toss lightly to coat. Cover and chill for 4 to 24 hours.

4. Serve the barley mixture on salad plates lined with salad savoy leaves. Makes 6 side-dish servings.
