Wheat Berry Roasted Corn And Spinach Salad Recipes

WHEAT BERRY + SPINACH SALAD

Steps:

• Combine wheat berries in a medium pot with 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil, pop on a cover, and simmer for anywhere between 30-60 minutes or until the wheat berries are cooked through.
• In the meantime, grab a large bowl and whisk together extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, ginger, garlic, salt and pepper. Add in baby spinach, golden raisins, and warm wheat berries.
• Stir everything together and adjust the seasonings. The heat of the wheat berries will wilt the spinach and plump up the raisins.
• Stir in the scallions and pistachios before topping with the crumbled goat cheese. Serve and enjoy!
