WHEATBERRY SALAD

Steps:

• Place the wheatberries and 3 cups of boiling salted water in a saucepan and cook, uncovered, over low heat for approximately 45 minutes, or until they are soft. Drain.
• Saute the red onion in 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-low heat until translucent, approximately 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and add the remaining 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) of olive oil and the balsamic vinegar.
• In a large bowl, combine the warm wheatberries, sauteed onions, scallions, red bell pepper, carrot, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the pepper. Allow the salad to sit for at least 30 minutes for the wheatberries to absorb the sauce. Season, to taste, and serve at room temperature.

BERRY GOOD CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375.
• In a small bowl combine dressing and basil, wisk. Cover and allow to sit on the counter to combine flavors. Ken's Steakhouse makes a Balsamic and Basil dressing that also works great! If you choose that route omit this step.
• In a medium bowl, combine olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Add the chicken breast and toss to completely coat.
• Grill over medium heat until cooked through.
• Remove from the heat and tent with foil. Allow chicken to rest while putting the remaining salad together.
• In a shallow pan combine the almonds and coconut. Pop this in the oven and toast until golden brown. Stirring frequently so as not to burn the coconut and to get an even browning. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
• In the meantime combine the romaine and the spring mix. Divide evenly amoung 4 large salad bowls, I use my pasta bowls for this.
• Cube the chicken into bite size pieces, or for presentation purposes you could cut it on the bias. Divide the chicken amoung the 4 bowls.
• Next layer: cranberries, strawberries then oranges. Sprinkle liberally with the almond and coconut mixure.
• Drizzle with the dressing right before serving.
• Served with a nice crusty bread just finishes it off. Enjoy!

• Stir in 2 cups of the berries.
• Spoon into 5-cup mold.
• Refrigerate about 4 hours or until firm.
• Unmold and top with remaining 1 cup of berries in center.
