Wheat Berry Salad With Cranberries - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups wheat berries
3/4 cup walnuts or 3/4 cup pecans, chopped
2 stalks celery, finely chopped
1/2 cup dried cranberries, chopped
1 scallion, chopped (white and green parts)
1/2 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

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 nuts in a medium dry skillet over medium-high heat until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the wheat berries, walnuts, celery, dried cherries, scallions, parsley, olive oil and lemon juice. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
