By Sweetpeasandsaffron

Enjoy an easy summer barley salad with corn, blueberries, goat cheese and almonds, all tossed in a simple white wine vinaigrette. This fresh, light, and satisfying salad is the perfect picnic food!

Barley sounds like a more ‘wintery’ ingredient, especially if it makes you think of this kale barley salad or these chickpea barley butternut squash jar salads. But paired with corn, blueberries and goat cheese? Barley salad is perfect for a summery dinner or picnic!

My perfect salad will always include the following: healthy grains, tons of veggies, something slightly sweet, a bit of CHEESE, and something to give it that crunch factor. This summer barley salad has all of that, tossed up in a light white wine vinaigrette!

And I’m seriously loving this recipe because it’s so fresh and delicious, and perfect for summer!
