Ingredients
Method
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. In large saucepan of boiling salted water, cook wheat berries according to package directions. Drain and rinse under cold water; drain again.
Meanwhile, arrange carrots and red onion in single layer on prepared pan; drizzle with oil and sprinkle with salt, tossing to coat. Roast until carrots are tender and red onion is browned, 25 to 30 minutes.
Reserving 3 tbsp of the Mixed Herb Vinaigrette, in large bowl, stir wheat berries with remaining Mixed Herb Vinaigrette. Stir in carrots, red onion and feta. Arrange on platter; drizzle with reserved Mixed Herb Vinaigrette and sprinkle with parsley.
Test Kitchen Tip: For even more flavour, cook the wheat berries in chicken broth instead of water.
