Nutritious Wheat Berry and Roasted Red Pepper Salad Recipe

Features:
    Cuisine:

    A little time consuming, but tastes great. I have never boiled wheat berries before and I love the chewy texture. used 1 vidalia, cut into wedges (but would slice into rings next time), sweet yellow peppers, 1 tsp dried parsley, 1/4 tsp dried oregano and 1 large clove garlic. Since this wasn't for company, I cut all the veggies up and mixed in. I would reduce the vinegar next time, since I'm not a big fan of it. I didn't use eggplant though. Good thing, since the veggies just barely fit on one cookie sheet! :)
