WHEAT BERRY (OR FARRO) AND LIMA BEAN SALAD
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.
