Step 7: After it has been cooking for 45 minutes, taste your wheat; the texture should be chewy, but not crunchy. Once the wheat berries are cooked to reach the desired texture, remove from heat and transfer them into a strainer, and rinse under cold water, until the berries reach room temperature.

Step 8: Add drained wheat berries, and salad dressing to the large bowl, and mix until well incorporated. Serve immediately.
