Time 1h30m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups water
1 ½ cups hard red winter wheat berries
2 cups butternut squash cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
3 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
1 large orange, zested
½ cup chopped fresh parsley
¾ cup dried cranberries
¼ cup sliced almonds

Steps:

  • Bring water to a boil in a saucepan and add wheat berries. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let cook until soft, 45 to 50 minutes. Drain.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Toss squash with 1 tablespoon oil and place on a baking sheet.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Transfer squash to a paper towel-lined plate to soak up excess oil and let cool.
  • Meanwhile, mix orange juice, remaining oil, maple syrup, and orange zest together in a bowl for vinaigrette.
  • Combine cooked wheat berries, roasted squash, vinaigrette, parsley, and cranberries together in a large bowl. Let cool in the refrigerator, 10 to 20 minutes. Top salad with sliced almonds and serve.
