WHEAT SWEET SALAD
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.

[email protected]This salad is a great way to use up leftover wheat berries. I also added some chopped celery and red onion for extra crunch.

[email protected]I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a bit more salt to the dressing.

[email protected]This salad was a disappointment. The dressing was too sweet and the wheat berries were undercooked. I won't be making this again.

[email protected]Not bad! I thought this salad was just okay. The flavors were a bit too sweet for my taste. I might try it again with less sugar in the dressing.

[email protected]This salad was surprisingly delicious! I wasn't sure how the sweet and savory flavors would go together, but it was perfect. The dressing was also very flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.
