Total Time: 3 hrs 30 mins Preparation Time: 2 hrs 30 mins Cook Time: 1 hr

Ingredients

• Servings: 12
• 2 cups whole dry wheat berries
• 1 quart boiling water
• 1 (4 ounce) can ripe black olives
• 2 cups fresh parsley, minced
• 1/4 cup mint, minced
• 1 cup fresh spinach, coarsely chopped

• 1/2 cup sun-dried tomato, soaked and chopped
• 1/2 cup lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt

Recipe

• 1 cook wheat berries at a high simmer for about 2 hours. this goes a little faster if you soak them overnight.
• 2 drain remaining water and run the wheat under cold water for a couple of minutes.
• 3 strain and set aside (storing the wheat in the fridge to cool them down while you proceed with the next step is a good idea).
• 4 chop olives, parsley, mint, spinach, onion, garlic and tomatoes; put all ingredients in large bowl.
• 5 add the wheat berries to bowl.
• 6 add lemon juice, soy sauce and olive oil.
• 7 mix together well.
• 8 add salt to taste.
• 9 enjoy!
• 10 this recipe keeps in the fridge for a least a week if needed. just add a little lemon juice, if needed. this is a great recipe to make ahead for parties.
