A friend of Joan's, also a farm woman, travelled through Australia last winter and brought back this recipe from a farm family she knows there. They make this chewy salad with brown rice, but Joan changed the grains to wheat, barley and wild rice to reflect her Saskatchewan crops. Look for wheat berries in your local health food store.

Ingredients

Preparation

In saucepan of boiling salted water, cover and simmer wheat berries until tender but firm, about 1-1/4 hours. Drain.

Meanwhile, in separate saucepan of boiling salted water, cover and simmer wild rice until tender and most grains are split, about 45 minutes. Drain.

Meanwhile, in third saucepan of boiling salted water, cover and simmer barley, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain.

Dressing: In large bowl, whisk together oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, mustard, garlic, salt and pepper.

Add wheat berries, wild rice, barley, green onions, red pepper and raisins. Toss to combine. (Make-ahead: Let cool. Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.) Stir in cashews and sunflower seeds.
