WHEAT BERRY AND TOMATO SALAD



Wheat Berry and Tomato Salad image

Whole wheat berries lend themselves to both summer and winter dishes. Much of the flavor in this salad comes from the tangy juice of chopped tomatoes, almost like a marinade for the chewy wheat. The salad is all about texture, with crunchy celery (or cucumber) and soft feta contrasting with wheat.

WHEAT BERRY (OR FARRO) AND LIMA BEAN SALAD



Wheat Berry (Or Farro) and Lima Bean Salad image

I love wheat berries in salads and have been posting some recipes. I believe this one came from "Country Home Magazine" but I'm not sure as the name is no longer connected to it. This one I have not made, but will surely give it a try. It says whole spelt (farro) can be used in place of the wheat berries. Salad can be made up to three days ahead but toss with the mint and basil just before serving for the freshest herb flavor.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the flavor of your salad. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and have a slight give when you gently squeeze them.
  • Use fresh green beans: Fresh green beans are more tender and flavorful than frozen or canned beans. If you can't find fresh green beans, frozen beans are a good substitute.
  • Cook the green beans properly: Green beans should be cooked until they are tender-crisp. Overcooked green beans will be mushy and bland.
  • Use a variety of herbs and spices: Herbs and spices add flavor and depth to the salad. Some good choices include basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, garlic, and onion.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing can overwhelm the other flavors in the salad.

Conclusion:

This tomato green bean salad with wheat berries is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is packed with fresh vegetables, whole grains, and herbs, and it is light and refreshing. The salad is also very versatile and can be easily customized to your liking. For example, you can add other vegetables, such as corn, bell pepper, or cucumber. You can also adjust the amount of herbs and spices to suit your taste.
