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

Instructions

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Stir everything together and adjust the seasonings. The heat of the wheat berries will wilt the spinach and plump up the raisins.
  • Stir in the scallions and pistachios before topping with the crumbled goat cheese. Serve and enjoy!
