Perfect for potlucks, picnics, and packed lunches, this simple salad mixes tender-chewy wheat berries with crunchy celery, zesty green onions, and sweet-tart dried cranberries. Wheat berries are one of the heartiest whole grains around, so they take some time to cook. If you want something faster (and gluten-free), substitute quinoa or millet for the wheat berries.

Ingredients

2½ cups wheat berries, soaked overnight
¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
¼ cup brown rice syrup
2 celery stalks, thinly sliced
½ cup chopped green onion (white and green parts)
2 tablespoons minced tarragon
1 Bosc pear, cored and diced
½ cup fruit-sweetened dried cranberries

Instructions

Bring 5 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan and add the wheat berries. Return to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat to medium, cover, and cook until the wheat berries are tender, about 1¾ hours. Drain the excess water from the pan and rinse the berries until cool.
Combine all the other ingredients in a large bowl. Add the cooled wheat berries and mix well. Chill for 1 hour before serving.
