Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups dry einkorn berries
  • 1 cucumber, chopped
  • 3-4 tomatoes, diced
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 3 Tbsp. fresh parsley, chopped fine
  • 3 oz. feta cheese crumbles
  • 6 Tbsp. olive oil extra virgin
  • 2 Tbsp. raw apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp. salt

Instructions
 

  • Soak einkorn (or spelt) berries for 4-24 hours. Before cooking, drain soaked berries through a very fine mesh strainer. Rinse well with cool water. Add soaked berries, 2-3 cups of water and salt to a medium pot. Bring to a full rolling boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 35-50 minutes (or more depending on how firm you like your berries). Drain in a fine mesh strainer and cool.
  • Combine berries, cucumber, tomatoes, onions, parsley and feta cheese in large bowl. Mix olive oil, vinegar and salt together and pour over salad. Mix well, and refrigerate for 1-2 hours before serving.
