mushroom vegetable barley salad with lemon vinaigrette
(3 ratings)
One of the best investments we made was a rice cooker that we found for $3 at a yard sale. I cook all kinds of grains in it, and they come out perfect every time! You don't have to wait 30 minutes to eat this, but it will be better the longer it marinades. Warning: The vinaigrette for this salad is VERY lemon-infused, so use less lemon peel if you're not as enthusiastic about lemons as we are =)
