Step 1

To prepare the wheat berries, let them soak overnight. Then drain and rinse. Bring 4 cups of water to boil in a small pot. Add the salt and the wheat berries. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the wheat berries are soft but still have some "bite." The time will vary depending on the age of your wheat berries and whether you fermented them (see below) but plan on 20-30 minutes. Drain. Set aside and let cool a little.See NOTE about fermentation.

Step 2

Combine all the vinaigrette ingredients in a small bowl and whisk together. Place all the vegetables and cooked wheat berries in a large mixing bowl (the wheat berries can be warm but not hot). Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and stir to combine. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving or overnight. Can be served cold but we like it best at room temperature.
