It's a hearty, high-fiber salad.

Wild Rice and Barley Salad
Makes 8 servings
In a medium saucepan, combine broth, rice mix and barley. Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce heat and simmer 40 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed.
Remove pan from heat and let stand, covered, 5 minutes. Spoon rice mixture into a medium bowl. Add chickpeas, raisins and scallions. Toss to combine.
In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, olive oil, mustard, salt and pepper. Pour over rice mixture, then toss well. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours. Just before serving, stir in basil and almonds.
