Wheat Berry Salad with Asian Dressing
Patricia @ ButterYum
Have you had the pleasure of eating wheat berries? They have a sweet, nutty flavor and an incredibly chewy texture which I find immensely satisfying. Add a delicious Asian-inspired dressing and you have yourself a flavorful and healthy side dish.
A few simple ingredients are all we need to make this tasty Asian-inspired salad.
Start with cooked and cooled wheat berries. They're easy to cook - just boil in salted water for 30-45 minutes, or until tender.
Add the bell peppers and scallions, then toss with the tasty dressing.
