Author: 
 
Ingredients
  • • 1 cup wheat berries
  • • 1 teaspoon coarse salt, divided
  • • 4 cups water
  • • 1 cup cooked chickpeas, rinsed and rained
  • • 1 bunch scallions (white and green parts), thinly sliced
  • • ½ bunch fresh parsley leaves, minced
  • • 3-4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (adjust to taste)
  • • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • • 2 gloves garlic, minced (about 1 teaspoon)
Instructions
  1. Add the wheat berries, ½ teaspoon salt, and water to a medium pot; bring up to a boil, then cover the pot, turn the heat down to low, and cook until the wheat berries are tender, about 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Drain, rinse under cold running water, and drain again.
  2. Combine the wheat berries and all other ingredients (including the remaining ½ teaspoon salt) in a large bowl; refrigerate until serving (this salad is even better the next day!).
