Summer Barley Salad

So with summer coming I am very excited for the return of all the summer fruits and vegetables like corn, tomatoes and the like.
This recipe I found on pintrest and changed the dressing and such to suit my tastes.

I did not include this in the picture but I would usually serve this with grilled chicken or fish.
