Directions

1. Transfer cooked and cooled barley in a salad bowl, use a fork to fluff up barley and separate pieces. Add bell pepper, carrot, ham, onion, cheese, and scallion.

2. In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the ingredients for the sauce: mayonnaise, water, lime juice, chives, salt and pepper.

3. Pour the dressing over the salad and stir to combine and coat everything. Serve immediately if desired, or keep refrigerated overnight.
