Feta, Wheat Berry Salad image

Another favorite wheat salad. Reminds me of a Greek salad. Everyone loves this. Have been asked MANY times for the recipe. Adapted from a recipe in "The Best of Gourmet 1994". Sometimes I'll add more dressing if it absorbs it all. Might be yummy with some marinated artichokes too. I like to use the basil and sun-dried tomato variety of Feta.
