I also tried to copy this salad after trying it at the local grocery store. I think this is pretty close. Wheatberries can be found in any health food store. Ingredients:
1 cup wheat berries |
1 red pepper |
1 yellow pepper |
4 medium tomatoes |
1/2 english cucumber |
2 garlic cloves |
1/2 large red onion |
2 green onions |
1 carrot |
1/2 roasted red pepper (optional) |
1/2 cup sunflower seeds |
1/2 cup pine nuts |
1 cup raisins |
3 key limes, juice of |
1 tablespoon sugar |
balsamic vinegar |
hot pepper sauce (as much heat as you want) or chili pepper flakes (as much heat as you want) |
salt and pepper |
2 tablespoons cilantro |
olive oil |
Directions:
1. Cook Wheat berry in simmering salted water for about 2 hours. (Will become tender, but still remain slightly chewy) (Alternatively can soak in cold water overnight, and reduce cooking time to 50 minutes) Drain.
2. While that’s cooking, dice all the vegetables.
3. Mix items for juice together.
4. In a large bowl, add wheatberry, all the veggies, and top with juice. Add seeds and raisins. Add olive oil at the end, just enough to moisten salad.
5. Add more salt and pepper if needed.
