Barley & Roasted Veggie Salad with bacon vinaigrette

Roasted Brussels sprouts and potatoes are great on their own, but toss them with barley, crisp apple, and good-for-you kale in a warm bacon vinaigrette and you’ve struck culinary gold. You’re certain to hear, “More please!”

Barley is a kernel enclosed in a double-layered hull. During processing, if only the tough outer layer is removed, the result is hulled, or whole-grain, barley, usually found in health food stores. If the outer hull is removed and the kernel inside is polished, the result is pearled barley, the kind usually found in supermarkets.
