Wheatberry salad

Recipe: Mixed fruit and almond wheat berry salad

From Michelle Langton who nicked it from Priscilla 
This is a true 'health food' recipe as a trip to a health food shop or very well stocked market is required to get hold of the goji berries, golden berries and dried mulberries. The golden berries puff up once soaked and have an interesting sweet sour flavour. They are all considered superfoods and amongst the best things you can eat for health. 

1/2 cup wheat berries

2 tbsp olive oil

2 tsp Himalayan rock salt

1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp dried goji berries
2 tbsp dried golden berries, soaked in water overnight
2 tbsp dried mulberries
2 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
1 red onion, finely sliced
1 tbsp whole almonds, soaked in water for a few hours
1 apple, peeled, cored and chopped
2 tbsp blueberries

Bring a pan of water with 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar to the boil over medium heat and boil the wheat berries for 50 - 60 minutes until soft but still chewy. Drain and let them cool a little. 

Tip the berries into a large bowl and mix with the olive oil, Himalayan rock salt and apple cider vinegar. Add the dried fruits, apple and the soaked chopped almonds and let them settle for an hour or so to absorb the fruity juices.

Add the parsley, onion and  blueberries just before serving and mix well.
