1/2
cup dried cherries or cranberries

  • In 2-quart saucepan, heat water and wheat berries to boiling. Reduce heat to low. Cover; simmer 10 minutes. Stir in brown rice and barley. Cover; simmer about 50 minutes longer or until grains are tender. Drain if necessary.
  • In small bowl, mix dressing ingredients.
  • In large bowl, mix cooked grains and remaining salad ingredients. Pour dressing over salad; toss. Cover; refrigerate 1 to 2 hours or until chilled.

When pomegranates are in season, the seeds make a great substitution for the cherries.

Make this salad up to 24 hours ahead. The amazing flavors develop more with time.
