List of Ingredients

1 cup wheat berries
1¾ cup water
1 cup cherry tomatoes
½ cup black olives
½ cup green onions
½ cup zucchini
2 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
¼ cup basil leaves
1 teaspoon each: salt and pepper
½ cup feta



Recipe

n a large sauce pan, combine wheat berries and water, bring to a rolling boil, and then reduce to a simmer. Cover and let cook for 1 hour until wheat berries are tender. (the texture will still be slightly chewy.) Drain, set aside, and let cool.
In a food processor (or blender) combine oil, vinegar, basil, salt, and pepper. Pulse until basil leaves are in small pieces and the oil/vinegar has come together (emulsified.) In a large bowl, combine wheat berries, veggies, and dressing, tossing until wheat berries are covered. Fold in feta cheese and refrigerate until ready to use.
