Tossed Spelt Berry Salad

1

Start by thoroughly rinsing the spelt berries. Bring two cups of water to a boil in a pot with some salt. Add the spelt berries, reduce heat to medium-high, and let cook for 15-25 minutes. The spelt berries should be chewy but tender when done. Drain the excess water, rinse the spelt berries with cold water and drain thoroughly.

Put a little bit of the olives and feta aside as a topper, then toss all ingredients together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
