Ingredients:

1 small rotisserie chicken

100 g. pearl barley

200 g. green beans, trimmed

1 yellow pepperr, cut into matchsticks

1 small red onion, cut into thin half-moon slices

50 g. flaked almonds, toasted

zest 1 lemon

handful flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped

3 tbsp. red wine vinegar

5 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

1 tsp Dijon mustard

1 tsp. smoked paprika

Directions:

1. 1. Remove the skin from the chicken and shred the meat off the bones into bite-size pieces. Cook the pearl barley in boiling, salted water until tender, but not too soft, about 20 mins. Drain well, then tip into a large bowl.
2. 2. Blanch the green beans in more boiling, salted water for about 5 mins, until just cooked. Drain, rinse with cold water to cool, then pat dry with kitchen paper. Add to the barley along with pepperr, onion, almonds, lemon zest and parsley.
3. 3. Whisk together the dressing ingredients with seasoning. Pour over the salad, toss everything together and serve.

Bon Appetit!
