Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Wheat berries
- 3 cups Water
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Orange juice
- 1 medium Apple, diced
- 0.5 cups Pomegranate seeds
- 0.25 cups Dried cranberries
- 0.25 cups Walnuts, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh mint leaves, chopped
Instructions
Rinse the wheat berries under cold water to remove any debris. In a medium saucepan, combine wheat berries, 3 cups of water, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes or until the wheat berries are tender but still chewy. Drain and set aside to cool.
In a small bowl, whisk together honey and orange juice until well combined. This will be the dressing for the salad.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked, cooled wheat berries, diced apple, pomegranate seeds, dried cranberries, chopped walnuts, and fresh mint leaves.
Pour the honey-orange dressing over the salad and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
Taste and adjust sweetness or seasoning if necessary.
Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled as a light and nutritious salad. Enjoy!
