Start with:
1/2 cup hard wheat berries
1-1/2 cups or more of water
Other:
1/8 cup diced dried pineapple
1/2 cup diced apple
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup diced celery
1 or 2 diced scallions
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
Dressing:
1/8 cup olive oil
1/8 cup orange juice
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 Tbsp agave nectar, honey or maple syrup
1/2 tsp sea salt
Place wheat berries in a pot and cover with water by a little more than an inch. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cover, simmering 50-60 minutes or until berries are tender. Add more water if needed.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine oil, juice, sweetener, and salt. Set aside.
When wheat berries are cooked, drain any excess water and place in a large bowl. Add half of the dressing and stir.
Let it sit until wheat berries have cooled to room temperature.
Stir in the remaining ingredients and dressing, tossing gently.
Serve chilled
