Steps:
- In a large pot combine the wheat berries and enough water to come 2 inches over the wheat berries. Bring to a boil and cook uncovered for 1 hour, or until tender. Drain and let cool. Toast the walnuts in a medium dry skillet over medium-high heat until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes.

WHEAT BERRY BOWL WITH SALMON AND MISO SAUCE
We love the way the creamy miso sauce coats the chewy, toothsome wheat berries in this Asian-inspired bowl. For a time saver, cook off a large batch of wheat berries, freeze it in re-sealable bags for up to 1 month and thaw and reheat as needed.

Steps:
- Cook the wheat berries: Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Add the wheat berries, and cook until plump and tender, 35 to 40 minutes. Drain the wheat berries, and transfer them to a medium bowl. Toss with the sesame oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Serve warm or at room temperature. (The wheat berries can be cooked and refrigerated in an airtight container up to 2 days ahead. Microwave just enough to take the chill off, about 2 minutes, stirring about halfway through.)
- Make the miso sauce: While the wheat berries cook, whisk together the mayonnaise, miso, mirin, vinegar and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl until smooth.
- Toast the sesame seeds: Swirl the sesame seeds in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat until toasted and golden, about 3 minutes. Pour them into a small bowl.
- Cook the salmon: Season the salmon with salt. Add the oil to the skillet, set over medium-high heat and heat the oil until it just starts to smoke faintly. Arrange the salmon, skin-side down, in the skillet. As the salmon cooks you'll see the dark orange flesh turn a paler orange. Once the lighter color reaches about 2/3 up the side of each piece, turn the salmon over; continue to cook for about 1 minute more (for medium-rare) for thicker pieces, 30 seconds more for thinner pieces. As each piece finishes, remove it from the skillet and transfer it to a plate.
- Build the bowls: Evenly divide the wheat berries among 4 bowls. Make neat piles and/or rows of the cabbage, avocado and scallions. Top each with a piece of salmon and some miso sauce, a sprinkling of sesame and some seaweed-snack strips. Serve each bowl with a lemon wedge.

WHEATBERRY SALAD
Steps:
- Place the wheatberries and 3 cups of boiling salted water in a saucepan and cook, uncovered, over low heat for approximately 45 minutes, or until they are soft. Drain.
- Saute the red onion in 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-low heat until translucent, approximately 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and add the remaining 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) of olive oil and the balsamic vinegar.
- In a large bowl, combine the warm wheatberries, sauteed onions, scallions, red bell pepper, carrot, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the pepper. Allow the salad to sit for at least 30 minutes for the wheatberries to absorb the sauce. Season, to taste, and serve at room temperature.

WARM WHEATBERRY SALAD
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.

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.
Tips:
- Choose the right type of wheat berries. Whole wheat berries, also known as hard red wheat, are the best choice for this salad. They have a slightly nutty flavor and chewy texture that holds up well to the other ingredients in the salad.
- Soak the wheat berries overnight. This will help to reduce the cooking time and make the wheat berries more digestible.
- Cook the wheat berries until they are tender but still have a slight bite to them. Overcooked wheat berries will be mushy and bland.
- Use a variety of vegetables in the salad. This will add flavor, color, and texture to the dish. Some good choices include roasted broccoli, Brussels sprouts, carrots, or sweet potatoes.
- Make the maple soy vinaigrette ahead of time. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Serve the salad warm or at room temperature. This will help to bring out the flavors of the ingredients.
Conclusion:
Warm wheat berry salad with salmon and maple soy vinaigrette is a delicious and nutritious dish that is perfect for a healthy lunch or dinner. The wheat berries are a good source of fiber and protein, while the salmon is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids. The vegetables add flavor, color, and texture to the salad, and the maple soy vinaigrette is a delicious and tangy dressing. This salad is sure to be a hit with your family and friends!
