Wheat Berry Waldorf Salad
Ingredients
- ¾ cup wheat berries
- 1 cup cooked lentils (brown or green, canned works perfectly)
- 1 cup walnut halves (toasted and chopped)
- 2 cups red seedless grapes (halved)
- 1 granny smith apple (chopped)
- 75g Macedonian or Bulgarian Feta Cheese (Any feta will do though)
Dressing
- 3 tablespoons olive or canola oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons liquid honey
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea or kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Note
A traditional Waldorf salad also includes celery. Add it if you wish, but this version has plenty of great texture already.
Directions
1. | In a small sauce pan, cover wheat berries with about 1.5 - 2 inches of water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium low and simmer, uncovered for 45 minutes. Drain any remaining liquid and cool. |
2. | In a small bowl, whisk all dressing ingredients together. |
3. | Combine remainder of salad ingredients in a large bowl and toss gently with dressing until everything is well coated. |
4. | Crumble feta cheese over individual portions or a large serving platter. |
