Wheat Berry Salad with Feta and Olives

  • 3 cups water
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 cup wheat berries
  • 1/2 c. red onion, chopped
  • 2 large tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/2 cup parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 c. kalamata olives, chopped
  • 4 oz. feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Combine water with a pinch of salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.  Add wheat berries, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 60 minutes or until tender but chewy.  Remove from heat, strain water, and transfer wheat berries to a bowl.  Refrigerate wheat berries while other ingredients are prepared.

In a large mixing bowl, combine all remaining ingredients and mix gently to combine.  Once cool, fold in the wheat berries and chill until serving.

VERDICT:  I substituted grape tomatoes and white onion.  A pretty standard grain salad, but easy and good. From Racing Weight. Keep.
