Here's one of my favorite salads to make when the weather turns hot and humid: Heirloom Tomato and Avocado Wheat Berry Salad. Super simple and delicious, refreshing, and filling. Here's a suggestion, though. Because the wheat berries take a little time to cook, make extra and store them in the refrigerator. Use them as a side dish for dinner… or to make more salad!

Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon coarse ground mustard
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon stone-ground honey mustard
  • 3 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Directions
  1. Put all of the ingredients in a glass jar and shake. Keep refrigerated until ready to use.
