Servings: persons

3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 cup olive oil
6 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth
2 cups barley
2 cups grape tomatoes, halved
1 7-ounce package feta cheese, crumbled (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 cup chopped fresh basil
1 cup chopped green onions
bag of baby spinach
14oz bag frozen cooked small shrimp

1
Rinse barley, and place in a small bowl. Cover with water by about two inches, and let soak for about an hour. Drain.
2
Whisk vinegar, lemon juice, and honey in small bowl. Gradually whisk in oil. Season vinaigrette with salt and pepper. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill.)
3
Bring broth and 1/2 cup water to a boil in a large heavy saucepan. Stir in barley, reduce heat, cover, and boil until tender but still firm to bite, about 20 minutes. Drain.
4
Transfer to large wide bowl.
5
Mix tomatoes, feta, basil, green onions,shrimp and spinach into barley. Could also be served on top of spinach but I like it mixed in because it wilts a bit.
6
Add vinaigrette -toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)
