DRESSING

Cook barley till tender. Drain and chill well.

Put dry ingredients for the dressing in blender or food processor and grate well; add the wet ingredients & blend again briefly. In a large bowl place barley, scallions, celery and red pepper.

NEXT, in a dry heated skillet (preferably iron) in a well-ventilated area, put the cashews and toss continuously until they begin to turn golden; add 1 tsp. olive oil and mix well to coat the cashews. Just before removing skillet from heat, add cayenne. Add cashews to barley mixture.

In the same skillet heat 1 tbsp. olive oil, add the mushrooms and toss.

When mushrooms give up juices, add garlic & ginger & saute 1 minute. Add the soy sauce to the mushrooms & cook 'til soy is gone; add to barley.

Pour dressing over barley mixture, toss well and refrigerate until ready to use.
