Step 1

In a small bowl, in enough boiling water to cover, soak mushrooms until tender, about an hour.

Step 2

(If they float, weigh them down with a cup.)

Step 3

Meanwhile, in a large serving bowl or salad bowl, combine barley, shallots, garlic, chives, thyme, oil, vinegar and kale.

Step 4

When mushrooms are ready, drain and mince them.

Step 5

Add barley mixture and toss well.

Step 6

Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled with grilled or poached chicken or as an entree accompanied by a quick saute of seasonal vegetables.

Step 7

Note: The mushroom soaking water is quite tasty and can be added to soups or stews.
