SERVES
4

Ingredients

Wheat Berry Salad

  • 1 cup wheat berries, dry
  • 3/4 cup toasted walnut pieces
  • 1 apple, diced
  • 1-2 oranges, peeled and cut into small segments
  • 1 1/2 cups finely chopped kale

Citrus Dressing

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Directions

Wheat Berry Salad 

  1. Rinse wheat berries underwater. Cook according to package directions. (Or, place wheat berries in a large pot and add four to five cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and cook uncovered for about 40 minutes to one hour or until tender.) The cooked wheat berries will still have a “bite” and chewiness. Drain and cool.
  2. While the wheat berries are cooking, toast the walnut pieces in a toaster oven or in a skillet for two to three minutes on medium heat. Watch carefully as nuts can toast very quickly. 
  3. In a large bowl, combine the wheat berries, apple, oranges, kale and walnuts. Set aside for serving.

Citrus Dressing 

  1. In a small bowl, whisk olive oil, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, orange juice, and honey together. 
  2. Set aside for serving. 

Serve 

  1. Pour dressing over salad. Toss to combine.
  2. Add salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!
