Start with:
1/2 cup hard wheat berries
1-1/2 cups or more of water
Other:
1/8 cup diced dried pineapple
1/2 cup diced apple
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup diced celery
1 or 2 diced scallions
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
Dressing:
1/8 cup olive oil
1/8 cup orange juice
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 Tbsp agave nectar, honey
or
maple syrup
1/2 tsp sea salt
Place wheat berries in
a pot
and cover with water by a little more than an inch. Bring to a boil. Reduce
heat and cover, simmering 50-60 minutes or until berries are tender. Add more
water if needed.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl,
combine
oil, juice, sweetener, and salt. Set aside.
When wheat berries are
cooked, drain any excess water and place in a large bowl. Add half of the
dressing and stir.
Let it sit until wheat
berries have cooled to room temperature.
Stir in the remaining
ingredients and dressing, tossing gently.
Serve chilled
