southwestern-barley-salad recipe

This was a hit at my house.  I couldn't find quick-cooking barley, but used
pearl barley.  The original recipe said that it was 4 servings, but it made
10 servings at my house, and it suggested serving it on tortilla chips.  I
think that sad eaters would enjoy it also.
