Directions
-
In a large saucepan, bring broth and 1 cup (250 mL) water to a boil. Stir in barley; cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until barley is tender, 40 to 50 min. Drain and cool.
-
Halve cucumber lengthwise, then cut each half lengthwise again. Slice crosswise to make small triangles. Toss cucumber, tomatoes and celery in vinaigrette; cover and refrigerate until needed.
-
Combine barley, vegetables, dill, salt and pepper. Salad can be prepared to this point, covered and refrigerated, up to 2 days. Just before serving, sprinkle with almonds.
