I’d like to make it and use vegetable broth instead of chicken.
Had no wheat berries, so I substituted coarse bulgur. Didn’t have to cook the bulgur, just soaked it in cold water for 15 minutes, and made this salad. Delicious even before it needs to sit overnight. Thanks for an awsome recipe.
Wheatberries or Wheat Berry are the entire wheat kernel, they are a cross between barley and pearl couscous. They have a chewy texture and almost nutty taste. It actually works well in cholent and salads and soups and is highly nutritious.
