This was OK - good for a hot day and healthy. Tomatoes are chopped, marinated with sherry and balsamic vinegars, then wheat berries added, another marinade step. Then you add cucumbers, parsley, mint, and feta.
I did make a few changes, not all intentional. I chopped fresh basil for something else, but accidentally added it to this salad. I still added the parsley and mint, though. I also did not have feta, but instead substituted cotija cheese, a mexican cheese that is somewhat similar to Feta (salty!). Even Wikipedia comments on their similarity.
Nothing wrong with this salad, it just didn't wow me. With better quality tomatoes, though, it could be a winner.
