1 ¹/₂ cup Water
¹/₈ tsp Salt
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 cup Cauliflower, raw, chopped – multi-color
1 ¹/₂ Garbanzo Beans – canned, drained and rinsed
¹/₂ tsp Salt

Directions

Preheat your oven to 400°F.

Add barley, water, salt, and olive oil to the Cooking Pot. Close the lid, and select the GRAINS setting.

While barley cooks, spread cauliflower and garbanzo beans on a baking sheet and toss with olive oil, salt, and paprika. Roast for 10 minutes at 400°F, then set the oven to broil for 3 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.

Make the dressing. Add half the parsley and all remaining ingredients to a small bowl and whisk to combine.

Once the barley has cooked, transfer to a colander, rinse and drain, then transfer to a large mixing bowl.

Add the roasted veggies and beans to the barley and toss with the dressing until all ingredients are evenly mixed. Garnish with additional chopped parsley, if desired.
