How to Prepare Lemony Pearl Barley Salad With Almonds and Herbs [Vegan]

Combine the barley along with one and a half cups cold water in a small pot. Cover, bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer and cook until all of the water is absorbed (approximately 20 minutes). The barley should be tender, but still chewy.
Using either a mortar and pestle or a food processor, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, thyme leaves, and roasted garlic cloves until a thick dressing forms. Set aside.
Peel the onion and thinly slice. If the grapes are small leave them whole, otherwise slice in half length-ways. Roughly chop the roasted almonds.
Cut the slice of rye bread into cubes and toast in a pan over a medium-high heat with just a splash of olive oil. Toss continually until the cubes start to evenly brown.
In a large bowl combine the barley, the onion, the grapes, and the almonds. Stir through the dressing, then add croutons just before serving.
