By lilbit411922

Ingredients

• Wheatberry Salad with Cranberries, Feta, and Mint
• 1 cup wheat berries (available at natural foods stores)
• 1 can or 1 cup dried black eyed peas
• 1/2 cup diced or crumbled Feta
• 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
• 1/2 cup dried cranberries, cherries, or other dried berries
• 1/2 cup chopped mint
• 5 tablespoons olive oil
• 5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, or to taste
• 1 tablespoon mustard (I like a sharp honey mustard)
• freshly cracked pepper, to taste

Preparation

Step 1

In a pot of boiling salted water, cook the wheat berries for 1 hour, or until they are tender, and drain them. (At this stage, the wheat berries can be stored for several days in a covered container until ready to use.) In a small bowl, mix lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, and mustard. Whisk to combine, and adjust as necessary. In a large bowl stir together the wheat berries and all other ingredients. Toss to combine. Serve cold or room temperature.
