Cooked Kale Slaw with Barley

¾c long cooking pearl barley
2c± water

Marketside Kale Slaw

Cook the barley for about 25 minutes, add half the package of Kale Slaw (from WalMart).  Cook, covered, another 20 minutes or so, keeping an eye on the water in the pot, adding a little more if needed.

When barley is done, toss, season and serve as is, as a side to chicken, beef or fish - or - add ½c roasted pumpkin seeds the last 5 minutes.  Season and serve as a vegan main dish.

The rest of the package could be served as a salad with nuts or seeds, drizzled and tossed with an Asian Sesame salad dressing.  I did that, but forgot to take a picture.  This mix of shredded cruciferous vegetables would also be great in soup. . .Lin
