{ HEAT WAVE SUMMER SALAD }

Oh She Glows has quickly become one of my favorite sites. This is another one of hers, with a couple of adaptations. I served it last night with cabbage pitas, and I'm eating the leftovers right now. So good!

{ SALAD }

1 c. wheatberries (2 c. cooked)
1 can garbanzos, drained and rinsed*
2 c. chopped peaches
1 c. chopped strawberries
1 c. blueberries
1/2 c. chopped almonds


{ DRESSING }

1/4 c. apple cider vinegar
2 T. pure maple syrup
1 t. dijon mustard
1/4 t. cinnamon
1/4 t. salt


fresh baby spinach

  • Cook wheatberries.
  • Combine all salad ingredients.
  • Whisk together dressing ingredients and pour over salad.
  • Serve over fresh baby spinach. (Original recipe has sauteed kale instead.)


*I forgot the garbanzos last night, and it was still delicious. I added them into my leftovers today, and I like them. In the future, I'll just do with or without depending on my mood.

I just learned of your blog from a friend, and I love it! Thank you for the wonderful recipes. This salad looks amazing. So does the pita sandwich you have next to it! You don't happen to remember that recipe, do you? Looks like maybe a slaw? Anyway, I'd love to see a post on it!

Thank you!

Tina, the pita "slaw" is posted under "cabbage pitas." They're really easy and good!
