Salad

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (about 7 oz.) uncooked wheat berries, rinsed
  • 1/3 cup uncooked medium pearl barley
  • 1/3 cup uncooked regular long-grain brown rice
  • 1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped unpeeled red apple (1 to 2 medium)
  • 1/2 cup chopped red onion
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/2 cup pecan halves, toasted, chopped

Dressing

  • 1/4 cup oil
  • 1/4 cup cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3/4 teaspoon grated gingerroot

Steps

  • 1
    In 3-quart saucepan, bring water, bouillon and salt to a boil over medium-high heat. Add wheat berries; return to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 10 minutes.
  • 2
    Add barley and rice; cook an additional 50 minutes or until all grains are tender. Drain.
  • 3
    In large serving bowl, combine wheat berry mixture, apple, onion and raisins; mix well.
  • 4
    In small bowl, combine all dressing ingredients; mix well. Pour dressing over salad; toss to coat. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate 2 to 6 hours before serving. Just before serving, fold in pecans.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Instant brown rice, can be substituted for the regular brown rice, add 1/3 cup instant brown rice 40 minutes after adding the barley.
  • tip 2
    To toast pecan halves, spread on cookie sheet; bake at 350°F. for 5 to 7 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Or spread pecan halves in thin layer in microwave-safe pie pan. Microwave on High for 4 to 7 minutes or until golden brown, stirring frequently.
