Einkorn Whole Grain Salad

This is one of my favorite salads! I first ate it in Italy on a Get-A-Way with 7 of my friends. We all loved it! I just made a few slight adjustments. Jovial Foods is my favorite source for einkorn berries, I think they're a higher quality ancient wheat berry, than einkorn from other growers that I've tried. I also love Jovial's olive oil. A little tip: make your order around Christmas time to have freshly harvested olive oil shipped right to your door. We don't eat a lot of pasta, but when we do, we enjoy Jovial's brown rice pasta. Their chickpeas and tomatoes are great quality items as well. Can you tell I like Jovial Foods? They're not paying me to say this and we're not affiliated in any way, I just want to pass the word along about a great company. Thank you Jovial for allowing me to share your wonderful recipe. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

TIPS

I think this salad has the best flavor after sitting for an hour, or two. It does store fine in the fridge, but I prefer it fresh.
