Use those delicious summer tomatoes in this quick and healthy dish

We used a mix of yellow and red heirloom tomatoes, but you can use any kind, as long as they're ripe and tasty. If you don't have pearl barley, try bulgur or brown rice.

Time to prepare: 30 minutes

1 cup pearl barley
1 lb tomatoes, chopped
1 bunch basil, chopped
2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 small clove garlic, finely minced
1/2 tsp kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

In a large pot of water, boil the barley until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.

While the barley is cooking, toss the tomatoes with the remaining ingredients and set aside.

When the barley is done, mix with the marinated tomatoes.
