I happened to have all the ingredients on hand for this, and gave it a try a little reluctantly because I don't normally like savory and sweet (the dried cherries flavors together. I was pleasantly surprised! What a delicious salad! I crumbled some feta cheese on it, and ate it for dinner with a glass of dry rose wine. Wonderful, and so nutritious!

Unbelievable. Absolutely delicious. I did double the lemon juice and olive oil as it made a lot. I've passed on the recipe and we all fight over who's going to bring it to summer picnics.

I had never made wheat berries before. This recipe was great. My family & I loved it. It was tasty & satisfying, with lots of texture & crunch . The particular wheat berries I used were already partially cooked so it didn't take me quite as long to cook, which cut my prep time in half(at least. Great leftovers to take in my lunch. Yum...thanks Ellie.
