Curry Wheat Berry Salad image

I'm posting several wheat berry salad recipes because I love wheat berries and especially in salads. I found this recipe on a Canadian living website. Sounds great but I haven't made it yet. They also said this salad can be made with barley. Plan ahead, wheat berries need to be soaked overnight and that time is not included in the prep or cooking time here.
