I doubled the lemon, and added 1/4 c fresh chopped basil. also increased the purple onion to 1/2 onion. i like the barley in this - excellent contrast to the peas.

You get two sides in one with this dish—whole-grain barley along with crisp matchsticks of vitamin- and fiber-rich snap peas. Serve with roasted or grilled salmon or chicken.

I made it exact to the measurement and it came out quite well. It is fluffy, and hearty at the same time. I am looking out for other crunchy options to replace sugar snap peas, just to make this with whatever veggies I have got in my fridge.
