Ingredients

  • 2 cups low sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 cup quick cooking barley
  • 1 can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 large red bell pepper, diced

  • 1/2 cup slivered almonds, roasted
  • 1/3 cup diced scallions
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

To toast the almonds, spread in an ungreased baking pan. Bake on high 350F oven for 10 minutes or until golden brown; stir once or twice to ensure even browning. In a medium pot, bring vegetable broth to a boil. Stir in barley. Cover and reduce heat; simmer for 10 - 12 minutes or until tender. In a large salad bowl, place drained kidney beans, bell pepper, zucchini, almonds and scallions. Transfer cooked barley to salad bowl. Add oil, vinegar and salt and pepper to taste.
