If you love the toothsome texture of wheat berries, also try our warm wheat berry salad with squash, kale, currants, and walnuts, or wheat berries with caramelized onions and pecans. We’ve spiced things up with this curried variation of chicken salad. The bold flavors of curry combine with creamy mayonnaise, sweet raisins, chewy wheat berries, and crunchy walnuts. The base of this beautiful salad is the wheat berries, which cook for 30-40 minutes while you make the rest of the magic happen. You can keep cooking to a minimum by using up your rotisserie chicken leftovers, or simply poach a chicken breast while the wheat berries cook. Pack it for a picnic or serve it for dinner then take it as a nutritional lunch tomorrow. It’s a great recipe to use leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken. If you need to cook chicken, simply simmer a chicken breast in a small pot of water seasoned with salt and pepper for 20 minutes then shred it using two forks. Easy! It also travels well so it’s perfect for a picnic or to take for lunch. While it’s a nutritious meal on its own, it also makes a delicious side dish for the main meal. We like to serve it family-style with a main like our creamy tomato pasta, easy baked lasagna, or cheesy white bean tomato bake. Also, try these cilantro lime chicken salad cups!
