I recently made the Green Bean, Wheatberry, and Barley Salad and was genuinely impressed by how vibrant and satisfying it turned out. The mix of hearty grains with crisp green beans creates a perfect balance of textures. The fresh dill adds such a lively, herby note, and the light vinaigrette ties everything together without making it heavy.
I recently tried the Green Bean, Wheatberry, and Barley Salad, and it completely exceeded my expectations! The combination of crisp green beans, chewy wheatberries, and tender barley made for a delightful texture mix. The fresh dill and light vinaigrette added a zing that made every bite fresh and satisfying.

I recently tried this Green Bean, Wheatberry, and Barley Salad, and I have to say — it completely exceeded my expectations!
The combination of textures is incredible: the green beans stay perfectly crisp, the wheatberries add a satisfying chew, and the barley brings a soft, hearty touch. The light balsamic vinaigrette ties it all together beautifully without overpowering the fresh ingredients.
What really won me over was the addition of fresh dill — it gave the salad a bright, nostalgic flavor that reminded me of classic dilly beans. Every bite felt fresh, wholesome, and truly satisfying.
If you're looking for a salad that's both healthy and genuinely delicious, I highly recommend giving this one a try. It's simple, full of flavor, and just feels good to eat. Definitely adding it to my regular rotation!

I must admit, I didn't follow the recipe exactly. I used only wheatberry. I was out of fresh dill so used freshly dried dill. I used California Ranch EVOO. The rest of the recipe as follows and I was disappointed. For me, it was lacking flavor. I used a nice lemon vinegar and some extra grated lemon peel and juice to give it a punch? Maybe my taste buds are a bit off? Or maybe it'll be better today? Please try it yourself🙂

Made this with whole Spelt (speltberries?) instead of wheatberries - was amazing! Also left out the dill and used savory instead. Amazing recipe!

Loved the simplicity of this as (with parsley instead of dill). Also tried pushing the "rabbit food" envelope: used a combination of green beans, snow peas, and yellow squash (cut into thick matchsticks). Added thick grated carrot and halved cherry tomatoes at the end. Fussier but great. Used bulgur and quinoa for a quicker version, too. Will make extra next time, the leftovers are so good!

I made this just as indicated in the recipe and it was delicious. Even better on day 2. Thanks for this great addition to my recipe book!

I like your recipe so much I decided to make it as a side dish for a big dinner party I had last night. It was a huge hit with people going back for seconds and several people asking for the recipe! The only changes I made were to slow roast a pint of cherry tomatoes and added them in at the end along with a couple splashes of soy sauce to the dressing. The red, green and beige-y white made it a christmas-y looking dish too! Thanks so much for a great recipe.

Hi sweet enough! I made this tonight for dinner and just loved it! Even my husband who is not a huge fan of whole grains really liked it! Thanks for a vegetarian recipe we can both love!!

I made a variation of this tonight for dinner - no wheat berries. Used a citrus vinegar and no dill. We loved it. Thanks for sharing this recipe - healthy AND tasty!
