Steps:

• In a saucepan with a well-fitted lid, put the the wheatberries, water, salt and bayleaf.

• Remove the pan from the heat, discard the bayleaf, let the berries cool in the liquid.
• When cool, drain and put the wheatberries in a large bowl.
• Add the remaining salad ingredients.
• Make the vinaigrette by whisking all the ingredients together.
• Toss with the salad.
• Let sit for about 30 minutes at room temperature.
• To serve, arrange a handful of greens on each plate and top with a generous portion of the salad.

Steps:

• Cook Wheat berry in simmering salted water for about 2 hours. (Will become tender, but still remain slightly chewy) (Alternatively can soak in cold water overnight, and reduce cooking time to 50 minutes) Drain.
• While that's cooking, dice all the vegetables.
• Mix items for juice together.
• In a large bowl, add wheatberry, all the veggies, and top with juice. Add seeds and raisins. Add olive oil at the end, just enough to moisten salad.
• Add more salt and pepper if needed.

Steps:

• During the last 2 or 3 minutes of cooking, add raisins.
• Make sure all water is drained.
• Combine the rest of the ingredients in a large bowl.
• Stir and refrigerate to marry flavors.
• Bring to room temp before serving.
