Spelt Mixed Salad

For Easter brunch I needed to make a salad that was filling, refreshing, and could be enjoyed by my non-vegan family. It took some prep time before hand since I cooked my chickpeas instead of using canned, but you can use canned beans as well, and the spelt berries take a while but if you do it the night before the prep time in the morning is 10 minutes tops!

Spelt Mixed Salad

Directions

Cook spelt berries. I added 3.5 cups water to 1 cup berries, and cooked for 45 minutes. Drain, and set aside. Cook chickpeas for 2 hours if using dry. Drain, rinse, and set aside.

Chop up all vegetables, and place in serving bowl. Add all cooked spelt berries and 2 cups chickpeas. Mix well. Just before serving add dressing and serve.
