Spelt Berry Salad Recipe

American · Salad · 45 min total

A hearty and refreshing salad featuring nutty spelt berries, sweet seasonal berries, and a tangy lemon vinaigrette. Perfect for a light lunch or a side dish.

Ingredients

• 1 cup spelt berries
• 3 cups water
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
• 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Rinse spelt berries under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine spelt berries, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30-40 minutes until tender but chewy. Drain any excess water and let cool to room temperature.
2. While spelt cools, prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, honey, and black pepper.
3. In a large bowl, combine cooled spelt berries, mixed berries, feta cheese, and mint.
4. Pour dressing over salad and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.

Tips

• For a vegan version, omit feta or use vegan feta.
• Add chopped nuts like almonds or walnuts for extra crunch.
• Dressing can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to a week.
