Preparation
Step 1
1. Before starting anything else, put the Kamut to cook in the water and kosher salt. Cover the pot and bring to a rolling boil then continue to boil lightly for 40 minutes total. Once done, drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside until ready to combine salad ingredients. To learn more about handling Kamut, check out my introductory blog post.
2. While the Kamut is boiling, proceed to prepare the remaining ingredients as indicated above. For the dressing, combine all the ingredients listed in a small jar fitted with a tight lid. Shake well to combine, and shake once more right before adding to the salad.
3. Once all of the ingredients are prepared and ready, add them to a large mixing bowl and toss well to combine. Divide into portions and serve.
4. This salad is best if eaten the day it's made, but it stores well in an air tight container the fridge up to 3 days. (Finish by third day.)
