Metric - US Customary

Instructions

Rinse and then boil the pearl barley. It will take about 30 minutes. Drain, rinse and leave to cool.
Toast the sunflower seeds in a dry frying pan over a low-medium heat. Keep shaking the pan so they don't burn on one side. When they are golden, take them off the heat and leave to cool on a plate.
Mix all the ingredients together. Add extra lemon juice, olive oil or black pepper according to taste. Serve immediately or keep in the fridge and serve later.
