Healthy Wheat Berry White Bean Vegetable Salad

Wheat berry white bean salad is a healthy, hearty, and easy side dish recipe. This is a fiber-rich, healthy salad with wheat berries, white beans, and vegetables, tossed with a tangy vinaigrette dressing.

I don’t know if it is just me, but it really is daunting to make something new, for the first time.  I have eaten wheat berries several times, but haven’t made them myself until this week. Strange, I know!

What I like to do, when making something new, is to check out the product’s website for ideas on what to make. Or even better, look to see if the packaging has a recipe on it.  When I flipped over the package of wheat berries from Bob’s Red Mill, I hit the jackpot; there was a recipe on the back that was EXACTLY what I wanted to make!

This wheat berry salad is packed with healthy, soluble fiber. The flavors are delicious, too!

My favorite thing to serve it with is grilled chicken, but I think it would be delicious with fish, pork, or just as, making a healthy meatless meal.

This wheat berry white bean salad is also great served on a bed of lettuce.  That is what I did, when I took it in my lunch this week. ????
