Wheat Berry Spinach Salad

May 4, 2017 2 Comments

Scroll down to watch the step-by-step video.

This simple, nutritious salad is hearty enough for the cooler, rainy days of spring yet light and fresh enough to work all summer long.

I love serving this salad with some grilled salmon for dinner.  Enjoy!

Wheat Berry + Spinach Salad

Yield: 4 servings

Prep Time:15 minutes

Cook Time:30-60 minutes

Total Time:45-75 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup wheat berries
  • 2 tbsp.  extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp. lemon juice
  • 1 tsp. grated ginger
  • 1 clove crushed garlic
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup baby spinach, chopped
  • 1/4 cup golden raisins
  • 1/4 cup sliced scallions
  • 1/4 cup unsalted, toasted pistachios
  • 1 ounce crumbled goat cheese

Directions:

  1. Combine wheat berries in a medium pot with 3 cups of water.  Bring to a boil, pop on a cover, and simmer for anywhere between 30-60 minutes or until the wheat berries are cooked through.
  2. In the meantime, grab a large bowl and whisk together extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, ginger, garlic, salt and pepper.  Add in baby spinach, golden raisins, and warm wheat berries.
  3. Stir everything together and adjust the seasonings.  The heat of the wheat berries will wilt the spinach and plump up the raisins.
  4. Stir in the scallions and pistachios before topping with the crumbled goat cheese.  Serve and enjoy!

    Hi Dani I love this recipe. A deli near me charged 6 bucks for a small container of this and it wasn’t nearly as tasty. I added turkey bacon to give it a bit more protein but it was delicious. Thanks for the idea
