Ingredients
-
4 cups Spelt Berry (hydrated)
5 sprigs of Parsley (finely chopped)
2.5 tbsp Dried Tart Cherries (finely chopped)
2 tbsp Oilve Oil
1/2 cup Celery (finely diced)
1/2 cup Green Onions (fine chopped)
5 tbsp Lemon Juice (freshly squeezed)

Tips
For a nuttier flavor, soak the spelt berries overnight or for at least 4 hours, drain, and lightly toast in a frying pan before cooking in same water ratio. This reduces cook time by about 5 - 10 minutes.
Directions
Re-hydrate spelt grain by covering with a 3:1 ratio of water:spelt (12 cups). Add a dash of salt to the water and bring to a boil. Once rolling, bring the pot down to a simmer and cook for 45 mins - 1:10 mins depending on taste. Drain and return to pot.
In the last 15 minutes of the spelt hydration, chop parsley, tart cherries, celery, green onions, and walnuts. Combine in a large bowl. Squeeze lemon juice and set aside in a small bowl to be used for whisking later.
In the large bowl, add the cooked spelt grain to the parsley, tart cherries, celery, green onions, and walnuts. In a smaller bowl, combine oil and lemon juice whisking until well emulsified. Pour the oil and lemon juice into the large bowl and mix well. Serve cold, cool, or warm.
Serving Size: Makes 5 servings (serving size = 1/2 cup of completed salad)
