Wheatberry Salad

Somewhere, sometime, I must have been privy to regular acts of gastronomy. I must have been a royal member of the court of Epicureanism of the highest rank. I must have tucked these food standards in the pocket of the soul that passes from life to life, like a little nagging gift. So like any true gourmet, I clip recipes from the Daily News‘s supplemental magazine! This recipe for wheatberry salad made it to my list of to-do’s for this week as I finally bed farewell to the huge batch of chili from last week. It’s texture; it’s variety; it’s color. And I am a huge fan of huge plump grains: Israeli cous cous, brown rice, arborio, wheatberries… Ah, it’s like eating berries off wheat. Yes, just like that.
