Ontario Tender Fruit: Ontario Peaches, Nectarines, Pears, Plums, Chilled & Pitted Cherries and Grapes

Ingredients

1 cup	wheat berries (wheat kernels)	250 mL
1/2 cup	minced red onion	125 mL
1/4 cup	extra virgin olive oil, divided	50 mL
2 tbsp	red wine vinegar	25 mL
1 tsp	kosher salt	5 mL
1/2 tsp	fresh cracked pepper	2 mL
1/2 cup	finely diced cucumber	125 mL
2 cups	halved Ontario Coronation grapes	500 mL
1/2 cup	toasted walnuts, roughly chopped	125 mL
1/4 cup	minced fresh basil	50 mL
1/4 cup	crumbled feta	50 mL

Directions

Cook wheat berries in a large pot of boiling, salted water (uncovered) until they are soft, about 20 minutes. Drain in sieve.

In skillet, heat 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the oil over medium high-heat. Add red onion and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Pour in remaining oil, vinegar, salt and pepper. Add warm wheat berries, red pepper, cucumber, grapes and basil and toss to combine. Transfer to a bowl and let salad rest for at least 30 minutes, tossing occasionally so the wheat can absorb the dressing.

Sprinkle with feta and serve at room temperature.
