Ingredients
-
Salad:
-
2 cups uncooked wheat berries
-
1 cup pumpkin seed kernels
-
1 cup chopped apples
-
1/2 cup chopped dried apricots
-
1/2 cup dried cranberries
-
1 cup finely chopped parsely
-
Ginger Ale Vinaigrette:
-
1/2 cup ginger ale
-
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
-
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
-
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
-
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
- To prepare salad, put wheatberries into a large bowl, cover with at least 2 inches of water and set aside to soak at least 1 hour. Drain well.
- Put 7 cups water into a medium pot and bring to a boil. Add wheatberries, reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until thoroughly cooked about 40 minutes. (Wheatberries retain a firm, chewy texture when cooked.) Drain and let cool.
- Transfer wheatberries to a large bowl. Add pumpkin seeds, apples, apricots, cranberries and parsley.
- To prepare dressing, combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Whisk well. Add to salad ingredients and mix well.
