05 May Pearl barley, pomegranate, mint and feta salad

So I had this amazing bulgur wheat salad at the Boddington Cafe (we finally got a table, whoop whoop!) a couple of weeks ago, and I decided to make a pearl barley version, since I am constantly looking for ways to reinvent it, and I always have some in my larder. I can’t remember exactly what went into the Bonnngton Cafe one (we’d had a couple of drinks by the time the main course arrived), I only remeber the crunchy texture and the parsley -which I am not a massive fan of – so you could say this salad was a bit of an experiement. And it turned out to be successful one. I had some friends coming round for a relaxed lunch in my garden, so we ate this salad, grilled Polish sausage, corn on the cob and roasted red peppers
