DIRECTIONS
Boil one scant cup water in a medium saucepan. Stir in barley and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cover and reduce heat to low and cook about 45 minutes, until water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and transfer to refrigerator. Allow to cool.
Combine olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, remaining 1/4 teaspoon and pepper in a small cup. Set aside.
Mix cooled barley with tomatoes, cucumber, onion, olives and mche in a salad bowl. Toss with dressing and serve. If you are taking to a picnic, keep dressing separate and toss just before eating.
