Wheatberry Waldorf Salad

Ingredients

• 2 cups wheat berries
• 6 cups water, or as needed
• 2 apples, chopped
• 1 cup raisins
• 1 cup chopped walnuts
• 1 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
• 1/3 cup apple juice
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

Place wheat berries in a bowl, cover with water, and allow to soak for 5 minutes. Drain. Transfer into a large saucepan and stir in 6 cups water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until wheat berries are tender, 60 to 80 minutes. Pour in more water if wheat becomes dry. Drain and set aside to cool.

Mix wheat berries with apples, raisins, walnuts, parsley, pomegranate seeds, apple juice, vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, nutmeg, and cinnamon in a salad bowl. Can be chilled overnight if desired.
