Wheatberries are whole, compressed wheat kernels. They’re a nutty, flavorful addition to healthy, main-course salads like this one, made with dried cranberries, pecans, apples and vegetables.

Ingredients
2 cups wheat berries
4 quarts water
1 cup diced celery
1 pound roughly chopped smoked turkey or rotisserie chicken
1 tart apple, such as Northern Spy or Granny Smith, peeled, cored and diced (about 1 cup)
4 green onions, thinly sliced
1 cup dried cranberries
1 cup chopped pecans tablespoons walnut or corn oil
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon fresh chopped sage, or 1 teaspoon dried
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves, or 1/2 teaspoon dried
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
Instructions
1. Place wheat berries in a large pot; add water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer until tender, about 1 hour. Drain in a colander and cool.
2. Place wheat berries in a large bowl; stir in remaining ingredients. Serve cold or at room temperature. Serves 10.
