Wheat berries (soft wheat kernels) give a nutty chewiness to this version of a popular takeout salad. Look for them in health and bulk food stores as well as in the grains or organic/special diet section of the supermarket. You can use barley instead, but cook it for only 20 minutes.
Ingredients
Preparation
In large saucepan of boiling salted water, cover and cook wheat berries until tender, about 1 hour. Drain and rinse in cold water; drain well.
Lemon Olive Oil Dressing: In large bowl, whisk together oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Add wheat berries, parsley, onions and mint; toss to combine. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)
Add tomatoes; toss to combine.
