- In 4-quart saucepan, heat 6 cups water to boiling over high heat. Add barley and 11⁄2 teaspoons salt; heat to boiling. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until barley is tender and liquid has been absorbed, about 45 minutes. (Barley will have a creamy consistency.)
- Meanwhile, from limes, grate 1 tablespoon peel and squeeze 1⁄2 cup juice. Prepare dressing: In large bowl, with wire whisk, mix lime peel and juice, oil, sugar, pepper, and remaining 11⁄4 teaspoons salt until blended.
- Rinse barley with cold running water; drain. Add barley, nectarines, tomatoes, green onions, and mint to dressing in bowl; stir gently until mixed and coated with dressing. If not serving right away, cover and refrigerate up to 1 hour.
