Green Garlic and Fava Wheat Berry Salad - Feast Your Eyes

by Nanette Maxim, Posted May 31st 2010 @ 10:00AM

Put some spring into your whole grains, and kick off the season with a healthy one-dish meal. This salad from blogger delamentals is nutty and crunchy with wheat berries (the entire wheat kernel). Then add some new garlic, which has a milder flavor than you'll find in the mature bulb. Blanch and peel some gorgeous green fava beans to add fresh flavor and texture, and toss in some crumbled feta cheese for a bit of creamy saltiness. As a food critic pal of mine used to say, "It has everything you need, and nothing you don't." Well, maybe a cold glass of Prosecco to go with it, and a toast to all the vets on this Memorial Day. Cheers!
