I would not recommend this recipe. The wheat berries were too chewy and the dressing was too vinegary.

Overall, I thought this salad was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I think it needs some tweaking. I would add more vegetables and a different type of dressing.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my salad didn't turn out as good as I expected. The wheat berries were undercooked and the dressing was too oily.

This salad was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it would have been better with a more flavorful dressing.
