This is my wholegrain version of a Waldorf salad. Wheatberries
do contain gluten but buckwheat is a great substitute here.

You Will Need (10 things)

  • 200 g Wheat Berries
  • 1 Green Apple , chopped
  • 65 g Pecans
  • 100 g Mixed Salad leaves

  • Dressing

  • 50 g Mayonnaise
  • 50 g Low-fat plain Yogurt
  • 3 tbsp Freshly squeezed Lemon Juice
  • ½ tsp Sea Salt
  • ½ tsp Freshly Ground Black Pepper

Steps (3 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    Put the wheatberries in a medium-sized saucepan or
    pot and cover completely with water by 21⁄2 cm/1 inch.
    Bring to the boil over a high heat then reduce the temperature
    and simmer uncovered for about 50 minutes. Remove from the heat, drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, make the dressing by whisking together the
    mayonnaise, yogurt, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Add the apples, pecans and wheatberries and using salad tongs or a large spoon, gently fold all of the ingredients together.

  3. 3

    Plate the salad leaves first, then add the wheatberry mix on top. Serve immediately as the apple will discolour.
