Wheatberries -- whole, unprocessed wheat kernels -- are available at any health-food store and should be soaked overnight to facilitate cooking the next day. They contain oils that turn rancid quickly. Be sure to refrigerate them in an airtight container.

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup wheatberries
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup yellow onion, chopped
1 cup sliced white button mushrooms
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 teaspoons coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 teaspoons coarsely chopped fresh sage

Steps:

  • Place wheatberries in a strainer and rinse under cold water. In a large pot, combine wheatberries with 2 1/2 quarts salted water, and cook until al dente, about 50 minutes. Drain, and set aside.
  • Heat olive oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add onions, and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in mushrooms, and add white wine. Simmer until wine has evaporated, about 7 minutes. Add onions and mushrooms to wheatberries in a medium bowl. Toss with parsley and sage, and season with salt and pepper to taste; serve warm.

Overall, this is a good salad. It's easy to make and it's healthy. However, I would make a few changes to the recipe to suit my own taste.

This salad is not very filling. I would add some more protein, such as grilled chicken or tofu.

The wheatberries took forever to cook. I would recommend using quick-cooking wheatberries or another type of grain.

This salad is a bit bland for my taste. I would add some more spices or herbs to the dressing.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I used sunflower seeds instead of walnuts in this salad. It was still delicious!

I'm not a big fan of wheatberries, but I really enjoyed this salad. The dressing is so flavorful and it really complements the wheatberries.

This salad is a great make-ahead meal. You can cook the wheatberries and roast the vegetables ahead of time, and then assemble the salad just before serving.

I love the combination of flavors and textures in this salad. The roasted vegetables are slightly sweet and caramelized, while the wheatberries are nutty and chewy.
