I would like to try this salad, but I don't have any wheat berries. Can I use another type of grain?

This salad is not as flavorful as I thought it would be. I would add more vegetables and herbs to give it more flavor.

This salad is too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar in the dressing.

I love this salad! It's so refreshing and flavorful. I especially love the dressing, which is a perfect balance of sweet and tangy.

This salad is a bit time-consuming to make, but it's worth the effort. The wheat berries take a while to cook, but you can also use pre-cooked wheat berries to save time.

This is a great salad for meal prep. I make a big batch on the weekend and eat it throughout the week for lunch. It's also really easy to customize. I love adding different vegetables and herbs depending on what I have on hand.

I made this salad for a picnic and it was a hit! Everyone loved the unique flavor and texture. The wheat berries were chewy and slightly nutty, and the corn and tomatoes added a nice sweetness and acidity.
