wheat berry salad


eating green in 2013: wheat berry salad, recipe found on p. 52 of "Super Natural Cooking", by Heidi Swanson.

simply. more. green.

A winter salad to consume on the cusp of spring... Delicious and lively, I made this wheat berry salad over the weekend to share with my mother-in-law, a dear friend (and our sitter for the evening!) and my family. This dish is a new favourite for several reasons: 1) it's incredibly healthy and easy to make, 2) it can be customized by season (imagine lemon juice, blanched asparagus and peas for spring), and 3) it provides a lot of leftovers!*

*A fourth reason this dish is a new favourite: it allows for less guilt (and more room in one's tummy) when sticky toffee pudding is on the menu for dessert!
