Lentil, Barley, & Wheat Berry Salad

Directions

1. In a medium saucepan, cover the wheat berries with a few inches of water; bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let stand for an hour. (Alternatively, soak them in water overnight.)
2. Pour off most of the water from the wheat berries, add the barley and lentils to the pot and cover with water by a few inches. Bring to a boil and cook for 40 minutes, until the grains and lentils are tender. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop them from cooking; drain well and transfer to a bowl. Stir in the raisins or apricots and let cool completely. (They will plump up, absorbing any excess moisture.)
3. Add the apple, celery, kale, feta, onion, and walnuts. In a small bowl or jar, whisk or shake together all the dressing ingredients, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle over the salad and toss to coat. Serve immediately or refrigerate until needed.
