Wheat’s whole, unprocessed kernels, wheat berries, serve as the base for this fresh salad.
Ingredients
1 cup wheat berries
6 tbsp. olive oil (divided)
1 large yellow onion, halved, thinly sliced
1 tbsp. chopped fresh thyme
2 cups green and red seedless California grapes, halved
1 cup baby arugula, washed, dried
1 garlic clove
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
3 tsp. red wine vinegar
1/4 tsp. Aleppo pepper or pinch cayenne
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
Steps
Cook wheat berries in boiling, salted water, until they are cooked but still quite crunchy, about 55 to 60 minutes. Drain and transfer to large bowl.
Meanwhile, heat 5 tablespoons of oil in large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring frequently, until dark brown, about 25 to 30 minutes.
Stir onions into drained wheat berries and cool slightly.
Stir in thyme, grapes and arugula.
For dressing
Using chef’s knife, mash and chop garlic on cutting board with salt until it becomes paste.
Transfer paste to bowl and add vinegar, pepper and remaining oil. Blend well; pour over salad.
Mix salad well, sprinkle with feta and serve.
