This is a delicious, colorful salad that you can put together in less than half an hour. It's wonderful as an appetizer or side, but is also hearty enough to eat on its own for dinner or lunch. The dressing is super easy to make—simply whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, coarse-grain mustard, fresh thyme and rosemary, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl. It nicely complements the cooked wheat berries, carrots, fennel, roasted red peppers, and arugula. To make prep a cinch, we call for deli-style slices of roast beef you can pick up at any grocery store to top it all off.
