Description

Toss a salad that is supremely blissful, filling and very healthy to dig in.


Ingredients

  • (Soaking Time : 8 hours ; Preparation Time : 15 mins ; Cooking Time : 15 mins )
  • Wheat Berry – 200 grams (soaked & cooked)
  • Cottage Cheese – 100 grams (cut in to mini cubes)
  • Sweet Corn – a big fistful (boiled)
  • Onion – 1 small – thinly diced
  • Bell Pepper – 1 small – thinly diced
  • Black Olives – 10 to 12 – halved
  • Honey & Mustard Dressing – 1 to 2 tbsp (I used store bought)
  • Apple Cider Vinegar – 1 to 2 tsp
  • Black pepper Powder – 2 tsp – to taste
  • Salt – to taste
  • Mint Leaves – a fistful – washed and roughly chopped

Instructions

  1. Wash the wheat berries well in running water and soak it with adequate water for 6-8 hours or overnight.
  2. Cook it in a pressure cooker up to 5 or 6 whistles. The berries would be done well and chewy to the bite. Alternately you can bring it to a boil in a sauce pan with enough water and cook on a medium flame for a good 40-45 minutes.
  3. Drain the water from the cooked grains in a colander.
  4. Tip it in a mixing bowl. Add cottage cheese, sweet corn,diced onion and pepper. Tip in the black olives and toss.
  5. Add the honey and mustard dressing along with apple cider vinegar.
  6. Season it with salt and pepper. Finally add the mint leaves. Fluff it up.
  7. Let the salad stand at room temperature undisturbed for a good 45 minutes to 1 hour so that the flavours are infused thoroughly.
  8. Enjoy !
