Wheat Berry Salad with Beets and Feta

I love absolutely everything about this salad! I haven’t made wheat berries in a long time, but now I’ll be dreaming about this salad until I do!

Wheat Berry Salad with Beets and Feta

Ingredients

• 1 bunch golden beets, small or medium sized
• 1 bunch red beets, small or medium sized
• 1 cup wheat or rye berries
• 1 stalk celery, minced
• 1/3 cup minced red onion (about 1/4 of a medium onion)
• 1 bunch fresh dill, chopped (1/3 cup)
• 1 bunch fresh parsley, chopped (1/3 cup)
• salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste

garnish

• 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

dressing

• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 4-6 tbsp of your favorite vinegar, I used O Olive Oil Honey White Balsamic
• pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400F
2. Trim the tops off the beets and put them in a single layer in a casserole dish. Cover with foil and bake until the beets are just tender, but not soft. Check with the tip of a sharp knife. I like them to be tender but still firm. The exact time will vary greatly depending on the size of your beets. Check small beets after 30 minutes, large beets after an hour. Let cool and then remove the skins. Chop the beets into bite sized chunks or wedges.
