    How to Make Wheat Berry and Green Bean Salad with Dried Cranberries and Celery

    1. Cook Wheat Berries

    In a medium saucepan, add the soaked wheat berries and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 35 minutes until the wheat berries are tender. Once cooked, drain them well and allow them to cool to room temperature.

    2. Blanch Green Beans

    Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and add the green beans. Cook them for about 2 minutes until they are vibrant green and crisp-tender. Quickly transfer the beans to an ice-cold water bath to stop the cooking process and preserve their color and crispness. Once cooled, drain the beans well.

    3. Combine Salad Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the cooked wheat berries, blanched green beans, celery, green onion, parsley, dried cranberries, and toasted pecans. Toss everything gently to mix the ingredients evenly.

    4. Prepare Dressing and Toss

    For the dressing, whisk together the oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl or measuring cup. Pour this dressing over the salad mixture and toss until the salad is evenly coated. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
