Wheat Berry Salad
Wheat Berry Salad is packed with so much flavor that you forget how healthy it is. Be careful or your coworkers will steal this salad.
Ingredients
Salad
- 1 cup wheat berries-uncooked
- 1 large apple-chopped
- 2 oranges-segemented
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 2 cups kale-chopped
- 1 cup pecans-toasted
Dressing
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- salt and pepper to taste
Protein
- 3 chicken breast-sliced after sous viding
Instructions
- Make the dressing and set aside. Combine all of the dressing ingredients and whisk or shake in a mason jar. If making it far in advance keep it in the fridge.
- In a large heavy bottomed pot cook the wheat berries. Bring to a boil by adding 2" of water above the wheat berries. Boil uncovered for 1 hour and check for doneness. They were a perfect tenderness for me. Drain well and cool.
- In a large bowl combine the cooled cooked wheat berries, apples, orange segments, cranberries, and kale.
- Toss with salad dressing. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Sprinkle with toasted pecans. If planning on making enough salad to have as leftovers only add pecans to what you are eating right away.
- This salad will stay fresh for 1-2 days.
