WHEAT BERRY SALAD WITH RED FRUIT

Wheat Berry Salad With Red Fruit image

For this sweet and tart salad, wheat berries are blended with cranberries, apples and pecans and tossed in a raspberry vinaigrette-a winning combination. A perfect side dish to take to a potluck or simply serve it over a bed of peppery arugula for vegan lunch. Recipe from Eating Well March/April 2007. (Cooking time is resting time). If you wish to sweeten your salad up a bit but don't have Agave, feel free to sub 1 T of honey. Also of note, I have made this with a peach and 2 apricots instead of the grapes and apple (thereby making this wheat berry salad with ORANGE fruit) and it is delightful!!!! This salad is even better on day 2, so it's a great make ahead recipe.

Yield 6 cups, 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (the juice of 1 orange)

10 chopped red grapes (optional)
3 cups cooked wheat berries
1 large fuji apple, unpeeled, diced
1/2 cup pecan halves, toasted and coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons raspberry vinegar (feel free to use Blueberry Pomegranate Infused Red Wine Vinegar)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon agave nectar (optional)
1/4 teaspoon salt (I only use a pinch)

Steps:

Combine orange juice and cranberries in a small bowl. Let stand for 15 minutes.
Combine wheat berries, apple and pecans (and grapes if using) in a large bowl; stir gently.

Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.
