Time 2h

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 pound dried apricots
1/2 cup apple cider
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon grated orange rind
1 tablespoon Pernod
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, plus more to taste
1 cup wheatberries, soaked in cold water overnight, then drained
4 cups chicken broth
6 medium beets, cleaned
8 shelled walnuts, lightly toasted and finely chopped
1/2 cup minced parsley leaves
2 tablespoons walnut oil

Steps:

  • Combine the apricots and apple cider in a small bowl. Soak until plumped, about 1 hour. Drain, chop finely and set aside.
  • Make a vinaigrette by combining the lemon juice, orange juice, orange rind and Pernod in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Season with the salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Combine the wheatberries and chicken broth in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until partially cooked, about 15 minutes. Drain. Add to the vinaigrette. Toss. Set aside.
  • Combine the beets and 3 cups of cold water in a saucepan. Simmer over medium heat until tender, but not soft, about 20 minutes. Drain. Rinse under cold running water until cool. Peel. Cut into 1/2-inch dice. Add to the salad and toss. Add the apricots, walnuts and parsley and toss. Drizzle with walnut oil. Toss again. Season with salt and pepper. Divide among 4 plates and serve.

The wheatberries took a lot longer to cook than the recipe said. I had to add extra water and cook them for an extra 30 minutes.

This salad is a little too sweet for my taste. I might try using less honey in the dressing next time.

I used dried apricots instead of fresh ones. They worked just fine.

I love the vibrant colors in this salad! The red beets, orange apricots, and green parsley make it a feast for the eyes. And the taste is just as good as it looks.

This wheatberry salad is a delightful blend of flavors and textures. The chewy wheatberries, sweet beets, tangy apricots, and crunchy walnuts come together perfectly. I especially enjoyed the subtle sweetness from the honey-balsamic dressing.
