Serves 4 to 6. Bring the water to a boil in a medium-sized saucepan. Add

simmer, uncovered until just tender, about 35 to 40 minutes. Drain.
While the barley is cooking, toss the asparagus and the onion rings with
enough oil to coat and sprinkle with a little of the coarse salt. Spread
the vegetables on a large sheet pan so they don't touch. Roast in a
preheated 425-degree oven about 15 to 20 minutes or until the onions are a
caramel brown and the asparagus is tender and is beginning to brown.
To make the dressing, whisk together the vinegar and mustard then whisk in
about 1/4 cup olive oil.
Line a large serving platter or individual plates with the lettuce leaves.
Heap the barley on the plates then arrange the roasted vegetables over the
barley. Drizzle with the dressing and season with a few grinds of pepper.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
