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.
