Barley Salad

🌾 Barley is the spring grain, the tree element. As well as providing good quality carbohydrates, being a wholegrain, it also helps to clear stagnant fat from the body. It needs to be cooked a little longer than rice, but you can also use it in lots of recipes. 🌾 To make it nutritionally complete I added some azuki beans, to bring protein to the recipe. 🌾 For the dressing, a mustard vinaigrette, but it would also go well with a vegan mayo 😉 ❤️
