What can I substitute for wheat berries?

We would highly recommend substituting wheat berries with extra coarse bulgur wheat. It has a very similar consistency and flavor so will blend in seamlessly. For gluten-free substitutes, choose something like rice, quinoa, or buckwheat .

Can I make a warm salad with wheat berries and roasted vegetables?

You can definitely use these cooked wheat berries in warm salads as well.

Can I make the salad ahead of time?

Yes, you can. Keep it in the refrigerator for up to a day. It is better to store it without the dressing. Pour the salad dressing over the salad right before serving and give it a good toss.
