Description

This delicious whole grain salad is full of chewy, crunchy, texture and a sweet fresh flavor thanks to the strawberries and basil.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE SALAD:
  • ¾ cups Cooked Wheat Berries
  • 1 cup Cooked Wild Rice
  • ½ cups Strawberries, Diced
  • 1 Tablespoon Fresh Basil, Chopped
  • ¼ cups Toasted Chopped Pecans
  • FOR THE DRESSING:
  • 1 Tablespoon Canola Oil (or Other Flavorless Oil)
  • 2 Tablespoons White Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Honey
  • ½ teaspoons Kosher Salt
  • ⅛ teaspoons Freshly Ground Black Pepper

Preparation

Once the wild rice and wheat berries have cooked put them into a medium sized bowl and let them cool to room temperature.

Add the diced strawberries, basil, and toasted pecans into the cooled wild rice and wheat berries.

In a small bowl whisk together the oil, vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.

Pour the dressing onto the salad and toss gently until everything is combined. Serve immediately or chill in the fridge for up to an hour.

Notes:
– Be sure to give yourself enough time to make this salad. The wheat berries and wild rice take between 30-45 minutes to cook.
– Make sure that the wheat berries and wild rice are cool before adding the strawberries and basil so that the heat doesn’t cause the basil to wilt and berries to cook.

This looks very refreshing. I will definitely try with the first strawberries of the spring season.
