Pear Walnut Wheat Berry Salad

This is a recipe I created using wheat berries which is a healthy alternative to rice. It’s also easy to substitute different nuts or fruit depending on what you have on hand.

Step: 1

Bring water and wheat berries to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the wheat berries are tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Drain any excess water and cool.

Step: 2

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spread walnuts onto a baking sheet.

Step: 3

Bake walnuts in the preheated oven until toasted and fragrant, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove pan from oven and cool.

Step: 4

Whisk canola oil, raspberry wine vinegar, raspberry preserves, mustard, oregano, and black pepper together in a bowl until vinaigrette is smooth. Measure 1/2 cup vinaigrette and store remaining vinaigrette in an airtight container in the refrigerator for another use.

Step: 5

Combine wheat berries, walnuts, pear, Gorgonzola cheese, cranberries, and green onions in a large bowl. Drizzle 1/2 cup vinaigrette over wheat berries mixture; toss to coat. Refrigerate for flavors to blend, about 30 minutes.
