Green Bean and Barley Salad

Trying to use up the abundance of green and yellow beans from my garden;

I based this recipe on one in my Canadian Living magazine. This hearty salad is easily made and would great for a picnic.I did change the white wine vinegar for lemon juice.
To make ahead I mixed everything together except the lettuce adding it just before serving.

Ingredients:
1 lb. green beans
1 cup pearl or pot barley
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 garlic clove minced

1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
4 cups arugula or spinach or mescalin

2 green onions chopped
2/3 cup feta cheese, crumbled
