For an extra layer of flavor, toast the barley and rice lightly in a dry pan before cooking. Feel free to substitute other beans or grains based on your preference. Quinoa or farro would also work well. Make the salad a day ahead to allow the flavors to meld together. Just hold off on adding the lettuce until serving. Add some avocado for extra creaminess
