I made this for dinner tonight and it was fantastic! I substituted quinoa for barley, shallots for red onion, and cilantro for parsley–it was a hit. Deb, I’ve followed recipes from your site for three out of the past five meals that I’ve cooked. I owe you an enormous thanks for making my kitchen a happier place.

I just made your barley salad and it was so amazingly scrumptious! Thank you for your wonderful recipes and lovely pictures!

I just finished making this not too long ago (like, 45 min. or so) and it is fabulous. Thanks for the recipe! It seems like a lot for one person but I was too lazy to half the recipe…do you think it will freeze well? Then again, it may be gone before then (eaten in various helpings at different meals, I’m not going to gorge on the entire bowl in one sitting…although it is tempting)

The pictures just make me feel healthy looking at them. Will try it out after my workout at the gym tonight. Keep up the good work, I know it’s hard!

Your photography is fabulous! I was just thinking this morning that I buy way too many cookbooks and never make anything in them – I enjoy imagining that I will make the yummy things pictured. Your blog just might save me a bundle!

Made the barley salad this weekend. Absolute winner, we ate it 2 nights in a row.
I added some pre-marinated & sauteed thin slices of flank steak to it & it was great. But beware that barley packs the same gastro-punch as beans. Did not know that…

Thanks for the barley salad post, Deb! I love barley (so much that I’ve emailed rob for his cilantro-chipotle dressing version!) and this looks like it could go to a cookout and hang out for a while on a buffet table none the worse for wear. Can’t wait to try it!

I’ve made that cauliflower, too, and it’s fabulous. The brussels sprouts are calling my name. I was scrolling down the page and that speckled goodness stopped me in my tracks!

I am definitely trying the salad and, if I have time, I’ll try the b. sprouts. THey are my fave veggie these days!

Thank you!

I’m loving the hashed brussel sprouts, looks like a great way to appreciate them!
