                        - Cook barley according to package directions.
 - Add a sprinkle of sumac for extra flavor and coloring while it is boiling.
 - The barley will take about 25 minutes to cook.
 - Allow to cool completely before adding to the salad.
 - Assemble all of the salad ingredients in a large serving dish. Drizzle with the desired amount of vinaigrette and toss together to coat.
 - Serve immediately.
 
Jess' recipe notes:
- For even more flavor, cook the barley in chicken stock instead of water.
 - If you are not a fan of raw red onions, use shallots or leave them out all together.
 - If your local grocery store doesn't carry sumac & za'atar seasonings, look for them online!

                        - Cook barley according to package directions.
 - Add a sprinkle of sumac for extra flavor and coloring while it is boiling.
 - The barley will take about 25 minutes to cook.
 - Allow to cool completely before adding to the salad.
 - Assemble all of the salad ingredients in a large serving dish. Drizzle with the desired amount of vinaigrette and toss together to coat.
 - Serve immediately.
 
- For even more flavor, cook the barley in chicken stock instead of water.
 - If you are not a fan of raw red onions, use shallots or leave them out all together.
 - If your local grocery store doesn't carry sumac & za'atar seasonings, look for them online!
