  • 3/4 cup tomatoes (- diced, such as plum or Roma)
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instruction

  • Start cooking the red wheat berries first because they take the longest. Follow the package directions.
  • While the red wheat berries cook the couscous and quinoa according to their package directions. You can substitute vegetable broth for water when cooking but it's not necessary.
  • Drain and add all of the cooked grains to a bowl.
  • Add the oil, scallions, parsley, mint, cucumber, tomatoes, sea salt and pepper.
  • Mix well.
  • Season to taste and serve or cover and refrigerate.
  • You can not freeze this salad. It is great fresh and actually improves after being kept in the refrigerator a day or two.
