Serve cantaloupe wedges and warm pita bread to complete the menu. Barley and navy beans are excellent sources of dietary fiber in this salad.

Surprised this doesn't have any reviews yet because it's really good! My only change was to substitute 1/4 cup kalamata olives and 1/4 cup chopped banana peppers for the pepperonicini because that's what was in the house. Other than that, I followed the recipe exactly. My husband loved it and ate two servings, leaving me one for lunch tomorrow too. Served with a tomato-basil soup and some cornbread. Great for a warm night.
