Speltberry Salad

I love throwing recipes like this together because you can really pick and choose whatever ingredients you want or have around the house.  You can tailor the dressing any way you would like as well - whatever flavors work for you!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup uncooked speltberries (You can use any grain you have - wheatberries, rice, couscous, quinoa, etc.  The speltberries make this gluten free, but it is just as good with anything else)
• 1 can black beans, drained
• 1 1/3 cups frozen corn, thawed
• 2/3 cup craisins
• A few handfuls spring lettuce mix
• Juice from one lemon
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• Dried basil
• Dried tarragon

Preparation:

• Cook the speltberries according to the package.  Mine simmered in water for 90 minutes.  After cooked, rinse under cool water to bring to room temperature and remove some of the starchy liquid left behind

• Add in all the ingredients that you have chosen to use.  I think that red bell pepper would have been great in this, but I didn't have any.  Also feta cheese would have been delicious!
• Add the liquids to all your ingredients and stir to combine.  If you want, some olive oil can be added to the dressing.
