Grilled Corn and Black Bean Salad

By -

*This is a 2008 Canadian Living recipe. It says it makes 8 servings, but I think it's a lot more than that! If you were only making it for 2-3 people, I think you could half it. There were five of us eating it the other night, and we still have leftovers. 
* I made a few adjustments - I'll write them next to the ingredients. 
* I also think this needs a lot more salt!!
* Great recipe for a BBQ or potluck!

Ingredients: 
Dressing:
Instructions:

Dressing: In large bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar, garlic, mustard, paprika, salt and pepper. Set aside.

In saucepan, bring 2 cups (500 mL) water and salt to boil. Stir in barley; cover and simmer over low heat until tender and no liquid remains, about 40 minutes. Add to dressing; let cool.

Meanwhile, husk and remove silk from corn. Place on greased grill over medium-high heat; close lid and grill until tender and lightly charred, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool.

Cut kernels off cobs; add to barley mixture. Add beans, celery, red pepper and onions; toss. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.) Sprinkle with cheese and parsley.

Add yeast mixture and remaining 1 1/2 cups warm water and stir until smooth, then stir in 1 cup more flour.
