Wheatberry salad, say WHAT?!!

Have you had wheatberries? I love these chewy little gems. YUM. They are a staple in my kitchen and I always have them around. They tend to be fairly inexpensive so that makes it easy to use them often. This recipe calls for ramps, a wild Spring onion. But if you don't have access to them, scallions or red onion would be a great substitute.

Wheatberry salad with white beans

  

Salad:

3c cooked wheatberries

12oz white beans (I used cannellini beans here)

small handful grape tomatoes, quartered

3-5 ramps (Spring onion- or scallions or red onion)

Vinaigrette:

1/4c olive oil

1/4c red wine vinegar

juice of half a lemon

zest of 1 lemon

1/4c parsley

2Tbs Dijon mustard (I use dusseldorf, any brown mustard works)

1 small shallot, finely minced

Sea salt and fresh ground pepper

Mix the vinaigrette by combining all ingredients with a whisk or in a mason jar with a lid and shake!

Add all salad ingredients and mix well. Let chill overnight or for a few hours.

Yum! SO good.
