Overall, I thought this salad was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I was really disappointed with this salad. It was nothing like the picture on the website.

This salad is way too expensive! I can't believe I paid $10 for a bowl of salad.

I found the wheat berries to be a bit too chewy. I think I would have preferred to cook them for a little longer.

This salad is a bit too bland for my taste. I would have liked more flavor from the dressing.

I'm not a big fan of wheat berries, but I really enjoyed this salad. The dressing is tangy and flavorful, and the vegetables add a nice crunch.

This salad is a great way to get your daily dose of fiber. Wheat berries are a good source of dietary fiber, which can help keep you feeling full and satisfied.

This salad is a great make-ahead meal. I usually make it on the weekend and then eat it throughout the week for lunch or dinner.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover wheat berries. I always have a bag of them in my freezer and I'm always looking for new ways to use them.
