This hearty salad is both a crowd-pleaser and very pleasing to the eye. It features wheat berries, apples, celery, red onions, raisins, toasted almonds, and lots of fresh parsley. Just keep in mind that the wheat berries will take about 45 minutes to 1 hour to cook through properly, so you may need to plan ahead, or cook them ahead of time. The rest of the salad, however, comes together in minutes. The tangy, sweet dressing is made with white wine vinegar, apple juice, olive oil, finely chopped ginger, and a touch of salt. Toss everything together, and your delicious salad is ready to go.
