    Herbed Spelt Berry Salad with Peas and Pickled Radishes this recipe

    Simple, wholesome and delicious is exactly how I would describe this Herbed Spelt Berry Salad with Peas and Picked Radishes.  The flavors and textures are an excellent combination and always put me in the mood to relax and savor every bite.

    Herbed Spelt Berry Salad with Peas and Pickled Radishes

    As the weather warms up and the evenings stay brighter for longer, we are craving something lighter at the dinner table.  With all of the amazing produce spring and early summer brings, one of the best ways to take advantage of these seasons is with a fresh salad.  Green peas, pink pickled radishes, herbs and spelt berries make this salad the ultimate dish!  The pickled radishes can be made several days in advance and their lovely pink color deepens over time.  I recommend preparing them when you soak the spelt berries the day before because they take seconds to make with a mandoline.  If you have extra radishes on hand, make a double batch to use as a topping for other salads.
