Curried Wheat Berry Salad
Genuinewestern
"Delicious, Mediterranean-influenced salad. It's a healthy whole food salad that can be eaten as a main dish or side dish. Eat immediately or chill for several hours. I think it gets better after sitting for a few hours, as the raisins soften up and the wheat berries absorb some spice. Eat up!"

I liked this. On the spicy side. I only used about 1/2 the raisins and sunflower seeds, to keep it on the lighter side. Will make again!
