KL's VEGAN WILD RICE AND SPELT BERRY SALAD

HERE'S MY ALL-NATURAL, ***DR. SEBI APPROVED*** SALAD THAT'S QUITE LIKE NONE OTHER---THAT'LL HAVE YOUR FOLKS WONDERING, "WHERE'D YOU COME UP WITH THIS SALAD RECIPE??!" HAHA!!

Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
Prep: 20 minutes

Cook: 1 hour
Servings: 4 

 
Ingredients:
1/2 cup Spelt Berries

1/2 cup Wild Rice 

1 cup Mushrooms (NO SHITAKE MUSHROOMS) 

1/4 cup chopped Onion
3 tbsp Grade B Maple Syrup
3 tbsp Key Lime Juice

1/4 tsp Sea salt

1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper 

1/8 tsp Thyme

Directions:
Cover the 1/2 cup spelt berries with cold water and soak them overnight.

When ready to cook, drain them. Bring 2 cups of sea salted water and spelt berries to a boil, cover and turn the heat down, then simmer for 45 minutes to an hour or until soft. Drain and set aside.

In another pot, bring 2 cups of water and the wild rice to a boil. Turn down the heat, cover and simmer the rice for 45-60 minutes (the rice will have split open and be fluffy). Drain any excess water and set aside.

Now make the sauce. In a small bowl mix together the maple syrup, lime juice, cayenne pepper, thyme, and sea salt.

In a large serving bowl (with a lid) add the spelt berries, chopped mushrooms and wild rice. Pour the sauce over and mix well. Cover and let sit for at least 20 minutes so the flavor can soak in then serve!

*add walnuts and/or currants for an additional nutty & fruity flavor!
