Cook the barley in a pan of salted water for 10 mins, or until al dente. Drain well and return to the pan.
Meanwhile, put the dressing ingredients into a screw-top jar. Season, screw on the lid and shake well.
Bring another pan of water to the boil. Cook the broad beans for 2-3 mins, then remove with a slotted spoon. Peel the grey outer skins, and then add to the barley.
Cook the green beans and peas in the boiling water for 2-3 mins, then drain and rinse in cold water. Add to the barley with the watercress. Pour over the dressing and season; toss to combine. Warm through before serving.
