How to Prepare Winter Wheat Berry Salad [Vegan]

Pre-heat oven to 400ºF. Prepare two sheet pans with parchment paper.
Toss the chopped sweet potatoes and beets with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Spread out on the sheet pans and bake for 15 minutes.
While the veggies are baking, cook the rinsed wheat berries according to package instructions.
When the wheat berries are tender, drain any excess water and return to the pot. Stir in the greens and allow to wilt. Remove the roasted veggies from the oven. Combine the wheat berries and wilted greens with the remaining warm roasted veggies and remaining salad ingredients.
Stir together the dressing ingredients, adding water a tablespoon at a time plus extra, if needed, until you achieve the desired thinness.
You may mix the dressing into the salad now or serve on the side. After dressing the salad I like to top with extra cranberries, pumpkin seeds, and a dash of salt and pepper.
