I made this not too long ago when I was looking for something that was healthy and yummy. I really enjoyed the combination of this wheatberry salad. It was very flavorful, but a unique spin on a salad that could be served at a bbq. Once the wheatberries were done, it took only about 5 minutes to prepare before lunch was served.
