Strawberry takes center stage in this fresh, bright, beautiful salad, which features an easy vinaigrette to tie it together. Frisée is a curly-edge salad green that you may see labeled as curly endive. If you don’t find it in your grocery store, pick up a bag of mixed salad greens—frisée may be part of the mix. Note that this recipe calls for cooked and cooled wheat berries, so be sure to have them ready to go.

By Nancy Macklin, RDN,

Ingredients

  • 4 cups sliced fresh strawberries (21 oz.)
  • 6 cups frisée and/or mixed spring greens
  • 2½ cups cooked and cooled wheat berries (1 cup dry)
  • 1 medium fennel bulb, trimmed, quartered, cored, and thinly sliced (1 cup)
  • 2 cups sugar snap peas, halved diagonally
  • ½ of a small red onion, thinly sliced (⅓ cup)
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
  • ¼ cup white wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon-style mustard
  • 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Set aside ½ cup sliced strawberries for the vinaigrette. In a large salad bowl combine frisée, remaining strawberries, wheat berries, fennel, snap peas, red onion, and 2 Tbsp. of the mint.
  2. For vinaigrette, in a small food processor or blender combine reserved strawberries, the remaining 1 Tbsp. mint, and the other remaining ingredients. Cover and pulse until smooth. Drizzle vinaigrette over salad and toss to coat.

I used rye berries, Meyer lemon juice for acidity and a lot, a lot more strawberry (granted my strawberries were pretty average) and maple syrup for the dressing. I feel like the amount given could be correct if the greens is not frisée. That thing is just so unappetizingly bitter. We didn’t even use the older part of the leaves which were supposed to be more bitter. And we don’t even like anything overly sweet. I did plenty tweaking for the quantities of other ingredients for the dressing too but I was happy with the end result. Not sure that I’d eat frisée again lol but I’ll gladly try this recipe again for other greens.

My husband is gluten intolerant. What would you suggest as a substitute for the wheat berries?

I live with celiacs and use oat groats in place of wheat berries, barley, etc. works great. You can get GF ones on Amazon.

Buckwheat is gluten free and would probably substitute nicely for the wheat berries
