Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This is a fabulous grain salad. Very nutritious, and always well received. It's a great recipe for a picnic or a potluck. Wheatberries are becoming more common, but can be found at any health store, often in the bulk section. I've always used soft (versus hard) wheatberries.
The wheatberries have to soak over night and cook on the stove for about an hour, but the recipe is incredibly simple to make.
