To cook the barley
1/2 cup Pearl Barley
2 cups Water
For the salad
1 handful cherry tomatoes, in yellow and red
4 Black olives
1 tablespoon Hummus
2 teaspoons Lime or lemon juice
1/2 ounce Almonds, about 10-11 (optional)
Salt and pepper, to taste

1
Rinse the barley thoroughly to remove dirt. In a small saucepan, place the barley and water. Cover and cook on low heat until most of the water has been absorbed (about 20-25 mins).
2
While waiting for your barley, slice up your cherry tomatoes and olives. Be sure to visit your barley occasionally and give them a little stir to make sure they don't stick to the bottom of the pan.
3
For the dressing: mix 1 tablespoon hummus (more or less if preferred) with 2 tsp lime juice.
4
Drain the cooked barley with a colander. If you don't fancy your barley to be gooey, run the barley under cold water and drain.
5
Add the drained barley to your dressing and toss. Mix in tomatoes and olives. Taste and adjust dressing, add salt and pepper to taste.
6
The salad keeps well in a tupperware in the fridge for 2-3 days. When ready to serve, add a handful of almonds for a bit of crunch and sweetness. Serve with roasted barley tea.
