Barley Salad with Chicken and Corn
1. In a medium pot of boiling salted water, cook 1 cup barley according to package instructions. Drain and let cool.
2. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place 2 bunches scallions (cut into thirds crosswise, white ends halved) and 2 1/2 cups fresh corn on a rimmed baking sheet. Toss with 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast until vegetables are tender, about 25 minutes, stirring halfway through.
3. In a large bowl, combine barley, roasted vegetables, 1 pint halved grape tomatoes, 1/4 cup fresh parsley, cooked shredded chicken breast, 1 tablespoon oil, and 1 tablespoon lime juice; season with salt and pepper. In a medium bowl, toss 5 ounces baby spinach with 1 tablespoon oil and 2 teaspoons lime juice; season with salt and pepper. Serve spinach with chicken-barley mixture.
