WHEAT BERRY SALAD WITH WALNUTS AND DRIED CHERRIES
I love wheat berries and enjoy them in salads. I am posting a few wheat berry salads from different books and websites. This is my riff on an Ellie Krieger Wheat Berry Salad from the Food Network website. Plan ahead, wheat berries should be soaked overnight before cooking and this time is not included with the prep or cooking time.
