- In a large saucepan bring 2 cups water to the boil. Stir in the barley, reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for 40 to 45 minutes or until tender. Let cool.
- In a saucepan bring 1½ cups water to the boil and add the rice. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered for about 20 minutes or until tender. Let cool.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooled barley, rice, black beans, kidney beans, corn, red bell pepper and coriander. Mix well.
- To make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, garlic, chili powder, salt, red pepper flakes (I use chili flakes), and black pepper. Whisk in oil and pour over salad. Toss well.
- Transfer to a letuce-lined bowl to serve.
Tip
This recipe is copied from Allrecipes.com. I tend to cook the barley for 25 minutes, then add the rice - this helps reduce the number of saucepans needed and is also lower in energy consumption.
Tip
Dried red pepper flakes (American) are equivalent to red chilli flakes.
