1. In a dry saucepan, lightly toast the barley over moderate heat until fragrant, about 5 min., stirring to prevent burning.

3. Remove from the heat and let stand, partially uncovered, until cooled to room temperature before stirring.
4. Meanwhile, cook the peas in lightly salted boiling water until just tender but not mushy, about 15 min. Drain, cook, and set aside.
5. TO MAKE THE VINAIGRETTE - In a small bowl, whisk together the lime (or lemon) juice, zest, garlic, cumin, cilantro, oil, and honey; add sea salt and cayenne pepper to taste.
