WHEAT SWEET SALAD



Wheat Sweet Salad image

In Montana this is quite a common fruit salad at potlucks. I used red durham wheat. You can use any raw wheat that has been washed. Go to a bulk foods place where they have barrels of spices and different foods and you can dip a scoop in and sack. We definitely do not call it "wheatberries" here but perhaps that is the name in the store.The best part is that it is easy, makes a lot and is a crowd pleaser. I guarantee the bowl will be wiped clean.

CREAM OF WHEAT SALAD



Cream of Wheat Salad image

Ideas come to the chef Michel Richard wherever he goes. "My kids eat Cream of Wheat every morning," he said to The Times in 1993. "I had never tasted it. I tasted it and it reminded me of a dessert my mother used to make." At a dinner he served it cooked in chicken stock with shallots, tomato essence, red wine vinegar, chives and salt and pepper. It produced just the reaction from the diners that Mr. Richard seeks. "I want people to say, WOW!," he said. "I want to create a surprise that you don't expect: something elegant, something sharp, something silky, something crunchy."

Tips:

  • Choose ripe pineapple: For the best flavor, select a pineapple that is fully ripe. A ripe pineapple will have a golden-yellow color and a sweet, fragrant smell.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro, mint, and basil, add a delicious flavor to this salad. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less, as they are more concentrated.
  • Don't overcook the wheat berries: Wheat berries should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight chew to them. Overcooked wheat berries will be mushy and unpleasant.
  • Chill the salad before serving: This salad is best served chilled. This allows the flavors to meld and the salad to become more refreshing.

Conclusion:

Wheat salad with pineapple is a delicious and healthy side dish or main course. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is easy to make. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your wheat salad with pineapple is perfect every time. So next time you are looking for a healthy and refreshing salad, give this recipe a try.
