This isn't an original but it's my tweeked version of a recipe found here:
http://kitchenkathleen.blogspot.com/2008/03/apple-and-spelt-berry-salad.html#
It's so delicious and reminds me of good times in Florida. It was a regular purchase from Native Sun when I lived there and I missed it so bad I went searching for the recipe.
Apple, Pear, Spelt Berry Salad
1 cup cooked spelt berries
1 pear, large diced (any variety, I liked the green ones)
1 apple, large diced (any variety, I LOVE granny smith but used Gala because it was handy)
about 1/4 cup celery, sliced thin
1/2 cup dried cranberries, soaked in about 1/8 cup water to reconstitute a little
1/3-1/2 cup greek yogurt, plain or vanilla work
2 tbsp cream cheese
1 tbsp lemon juice
2.5 tbsp honey, sugar, or karo syrup (I used karo because I didn't have any honey left, but honey tastes better)
1/2 tsp Penzey's Baking Spice (or something similar
Cook the spelt berries. Boil 1.5 cups water and add in 1/2 cup dry spelt berries. Cover and let simmer for about 40 minutes. Turn off heat, leave covered, let cool.
Mix the wet ingredients together until kind of soupy.
Toss together dry ingredients until mixed well, including spelt berries.
Combine everything into a nice serving dish or storage container.
Keeps in the fridge for about 5 days pretty well. After that it gets a little soggy.
You can substitute something like a kamut berry or even some almonds, cashews, or walnuts if you can't find spelt. I just ordered mine from Vitacost.com. It's a great site and clicking through here should get you a free $10 credit!
It's a perfect breakfast, meal, or snack.
