Wheatberry Waldorf Salad image

This is a delicious, nutty Waldorf salad that is packed with flavor. It's great anytime of the year, just substitute some ingredients for what's in season. Pomegranate seeds, mandarin oranges, or dried cranberries would be good too.

I found the dressing to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar or honey.
