Categories     Salad     Dinner     Boil

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup wheat berries
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 hothouse (seedless) cucumber
1 cup diced ripe pineapple (1/4-inch dice)
3/4 cup dried cranberries
1 cup shredded tender radicchio leaves
3 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Place the wheat berries in a colander and rinse them under cold running water. Drain the wheat berries and transfer them to a bowl. Add cold water to cover by 2 inches, and set aside to soak overnight. 2. Drain the wheat berries in a colander and rinse them well under cold running water. Transfer them to a large pot and add water to cover by 3 inches. Bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered, until the wheat berries begin to soften, about 15 minutes. 3. Add the salt and cook, uncovered, until the wheat berries are tender, about 45 minutes; test them occasionally while they are cooking. Drain in a colander, and rinse thoroughly under cold running water. Drain the wheat berries well and spread them out on a baking sheet; let them dry for about 45 minutes. 4. Quarter the cucumber lengthwise (do not peel it) and thinly slice the quarters. You should have 1 cup cucumber pieces. 5. Place the wheat berries in a bowl and add the cucumbers, pineapple and cranberries. Toss well with a fork. Toss in the radicchio and parsley. Add the oil, lemon juice, and salt and pepper, and fluff well with a fork. Let rest at room temperature for 20 minutes before serving.
