An affordable filling salad

Description

The recipe won't take much time. I had seasonal cucumbers and tomatoes in my fridge, along with an onion and some fresh herbs. For the grain, I used regular barley, which can be substituted with bulgur or wild rice. Serve the salad cold. It's very filling, so you can replace dinner or lunch with it. Serve and enjoy.
