Barley, Berries & Chicken Salad

2 cups cooked pearl barley or whole grain barley *I have used 1 cup Barley and 1 cup cooked Kamut and that combo is yummy too! You could mix any grain combo you like.
1-1/2 cups cooked and cubed chicken
1 can (8 oz) sliced water chestnuts, drained *I use less
1/2 cup sliced celery
1/4 cup sliced green onions *I use less
1/2 cup prepared Italian salad dressing
1 cup sliced fresh strawberries * I like to sweeten the berries just a bit.

Combine cooked barley, chicken, water chestnuts, celery and onions. Drizzle salad
dressing over barley-chicken mixture and toss with fork.

Chill well.

To serve, spoon chilled salad into serving bowl and top with sliced strawberries.

Makes 4 generous servings.
