Wheat Berry Salad

Wheat berries are whole grains, full of fiber, and have tons of protein. This salad is perfect for when you want something sweet and savory that has a bit of chewy texture to it.

Recipe:
2 cups cooked wheat berries (follow the package directions)
1/2 cup dried cherries or cranberries
1/2 red onion, diced
1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
1-2 stalks celery
3 T oil
3 T balsamic vinegar
1/2 tsp dijon mustard
pepper
feta cheese, crumbled

In a large bowl combine wheat berries, dried fruit, nuts, celery, and onions. In a small bowl whisk together oil, vinegar, mustard, and pepper. Mix dressing with the rest of the salad. Top with crumbled feta.
