Complete the meal with 5-ingredient pistachio crusted salmon or crockpot roast chicken. This wheat berry salad has so much going for it. It’s hearty, healthy, sweet, and savory with lots of texture and endless variations. Served warm, it’s the perfect salad for cooler temperatures. The more robust ingredients like kale, squash, walnuts, and wheat berries keep well in the fridge making this recipe one to double for an elevated make-ahead lunch. Double the quantity to make extra for adding to soups and salads. Cooked wheat berries can be stored in the fridge in an air-tight container for about 3 days. Making a delicious maple dressing is simple and the sweet-tart flavor goes perfectly with hearty salads like this wheat berry one. It uses just a few ingredients:
Olive oil – extra virgin olive oil makes a great base for salad dressings. Apple cider vinegar – this acts as the acid and gives the dressing its tart flavor. Look for unfiltered apple cider vinegar that will appear cloudy and murky and comes with the ‘mother’. Maple syrup – pure maple syrup adds a wonderful, rich sweetness with hints of caramel and vanilla. Garlic – garlic’s unique and pungent flavor adds a hint of spiciness that rounds out this dressing.
Extra dressing stores well in an air-tight jar or container in the fridge for about a week. The olive oil will solidify in the fridge so you’ll want to take it out 10-15 minutes before you want to use it. Don’t forget to give it a good shake!
