WHEAT BERRY SALAD WITH PECANS AND CRAISINS

I’m sure you know by now that eating whole wheat is a smart dietary choice and eating wheat berries is as whole as the wheat comes.  In case you didn’t know, wheat berries are what all wheat products come from and they’re delicious!

Wheat berries are loaded with nutrients and are as easy as rice to prepare — perfect for a meal any time of year.  Contrary to popular belief, wheat berries do not require an overnight soak before cooking. Simply boil them for 1 hour to soften the kernels, which will produce their characteristically chewy, nutty texture.

This salad is clean, fresh and delicious!  Every ingredient pops with vibrancy and I can’t help myself… I go back for spoonful after spoonful before it even makes it to the table!
