Ingredients

• Wheat berries: A healthy whole grain, they’re chewy, nutty in flavor, and full of fiber and protein.
• Red pepper: Crunchy and slightly sweet, they’re also high in nutrients like vitamin C.
• Carrots: Offsets the chewy wheat berries with a sweet and healthy crunch.
• Red onion: Vibrant color as well as strong, somewhat spicy taste.
• Feta: A bit creamy and crumbly, feta adds a great sharp, tangy taste to the salad.
• Mint: Sweet and super versatile, fresh mint pairs wonderfully with the sweet and sharp flavors in this salad.
• Capers: Somewhat floral and lemony in taste, they’re also usually quite salty because they’re pickled.

• Balsamic vinegar: Paired with the olive oil, it dresses the salad in a bold, acidic flavor.
