Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups wheat berries see notes below for cooking directions, cooked
- 1/4 cup red onion finely diced
- 1/4 cup cucumber diced
- 1/4 cup carrot diced
- 1/3 cup red cabbage chopped or shredded
- 1/3 cup cheddar cheese diced, or feta cheese
- 1/4 cup pecan toasted, chopped
- cherry tomatoes about 10, halved or quartered
- 1/2 apple Granny Smith, diced, unpeeled
- salt fresh cracked
- black pepper fresh cracked
dressing
- 1/3 cup walnut oil
- 3 Tbsp apple cider vinegar or more to taste
- 1 grainy mustard heaping tsp
- 1 honey heaping tsp
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Put all the salad ingredients together in a bowl.
- Toss with enough dressing to thoroughly moisten, but don't over do, you may not want all of it.
- Cover and chill the salad for at least a couple of hours before serving, it will get better as it sits. You may want to add more dressing before serving.
- I don't add too much salt to my recipes but be sure to taste this and add it as you prefer.
Notes
- To cook wheat berries on the stove put 1 cup raw berries in a large saucepan with a pinch of salt and 6 cups water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 50-60 minutes or until the berries are tender but still chewy. Drain.
- To cook wheat berries in the Instant Pot put the berries in the pot with a pinch of salt and 3 cups of water. Lock the lid and set the vent to seal. Cook on high pressure for 35 minutes, then release the pressure valve. Drain off excess liquid.
