Wheat Berry Salad with Corn & Tomatoes



Introduction

A hearty salad made with wheat berries, this is a fantastic pot-luck contribution. You'll find wheat berries in the bulk food section of Whole Foods; substitute pearled barley or farro (an Italian grain similar in texture) if you'd like.

Number of Servings: 1

Ingredients

    1 cup wheat berries
    1 small red onion, chopped fine (about 1/4 cup)
    1 garlic clove, minced
    2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
    2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
    1 1/2 cups cooked corn (frozen, or cut from 2 fresh ears and steamed)
    1 cup smoked mozzarella cheese, diced
    1 pint vine-ripened cherry tomatoes, halved
    1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
    1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Serves 4 to 6.

Bring a pan of water to a boil; add 1 tsp. salt and stir in wheat berries. Return to a boil, then reduce heat slightly and cook until the wheat berries are al dente (like pasta), about 40 to 50 minutes. Drain and cool slightly.

In a small bowl, stir together red onion, garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar and a pinch of salt.

In a serving bowl, combine wheat berries, corn, tomato and smoked mozzarella. Add dressing to taste. Add fresh herbs and toss gently to combine.

    It would more helpful if "servings" were measured in terms of cups rather than the whole recipe. - 2/2/11

  • It calculates at over 1100 calories because that's for the entire recipe. You have to decide how many servings you want it to make then do a makeover to get the nutritional facts... - 10/9/12
