Cucumber Barley Salad

Ingredients
2 cups water
1 cup quick-cooking barley
1 seedless cucumber (rinsed)
1 sweet onion (rinsed)
1/2 cup Italian dressing
1/2 cup vanilla almond low-sugar granola (optional)

Steps

1. Place water and barley in microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave on HIGH 5–7 minutes or until barley is soft and water is absorbed.

3. Stir remaining ingredients (except granola) into barley until evenly coated. Sprinkle with granola, if using, and serve.
