Ingredients
  • Salad:

  • cups uncooked wheat berries

  • cup pumpkin seed kernels

  • cup chopped apples

  • 1/2  cup chopped dried apricots

  • 1/2  cup dried cranberries

  • cup finely chopped parsely

  • Ginger Ale Vinaigrette:

  • 1/2  cup ginger ale

  • tablespoons apple cider vinegar

  • 1/2  teaspoon salt

  • 1/2  teaspoon black pepper

  • 1/2  teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • 1/2  teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Transfer wheatberries to a large bowl. Add pumpkin seeds, apples, apricots, cranberries and parsley.
  4. To prepare dressing, combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Whisk well. Add to salad ingredients and mix well.
