Ingredients
  • 1 cup uncooked wheat berries
  • 3 cups of water
  • 1 cup shelled frozen edemame
  • 1-16 ounce container of low-fat cottage cheese
  • 1 cup chopped cucumber
  • 1 cup chopped carrots
  • ½ cup diced red pepper
  • ½ cup sliced green onion (white and green parts)
  • ¼ cup chopped parsley
  • ¼ cup chopped dill
  • Salt & Pepper
Instructions
  1. Add wheat berries, water and a pinch of salt to a sauce pan. Bring it to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer and cover. Cook wheat berries for about 30 minutes. At this point start testing to see if they're done. They should be chewy, but not hard. Continue cooking checking every 5 minutes. Depending on the variety and the age of the berries, it might take up to 30 minutes longer. When the berries are done cooking add frozen edemame to the pot. Then drain edemame and wheat berries in a sieve or colander and rinse quickly with cool water.
  2. In a large bowl mix all ingredients and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately
