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

  • 1-1/2 cups wheat berries
  • 1-1/2 cups finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 4 green onions, chopped
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh mint leaves
  • 3 large tomatoes, diced
  • Lemon Olive Oil Dressing:
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

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.
