Watch how to make this recipe.
In a large pot combine the wheat berries and enough water to come 2 inches over the wheat berries. Bring to a boil and cook uncovered for 1 hour, or until tender.
Drain and let cool. Toast the walnuts in a medium dry skillet over medium-high heat until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the wheat berries, walnuts, celery, dried cherries, scallions, parsley, olive oil and lemon juice. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Gruener Veltliner
Salad on the menu? Try pairing with Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Gruener Veltliner. Sauvignon Blanc and Gruner Veltliner both have herby notes that complement salads with enough acid to match tart vinaigrettes, while a Chardonnay can be a good pick for creamy salad dressings. You could try Raptor Ridge Shea Vineyard Pinot Noir. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 46 dollars per bottle.

Raptor Ridge Shea Vineyard Pinot Noir
A muscular wine with a soft side, this vintage of Shea introduces itself with aromas of black cherry, dark plum, sarsaparilla, a hint of mandarin orange and an enticing meatiness. Front end silkiness leads to a mouthful of dusky cherry, cranberry and spice. Elevated acids and robust tannins offer age-worthiness and an arresting addition to your cellar. Pair with: Tea-smoked duck breast with cherry reduction soy and ginger marinated tri tip roast baked ham with cranberry glaze.
