Accidental Vegan - Edemame, Black Bean and Wheat Berry Salad

I am a localvore and I don't shop at super markets. For some this is tough, for my house of one it is pretty easy.

I love trying new recipes, especially foods that will keep me satiated and health. I found the following recipe in a random magazine. I did not include tomatoes because they are out of season but the results were delicious. Try it out and let me know what you think!

4 c water
.5 c dry wheat berry
.5 c of dry black beans OR a can of black beans
1 c thawed edamame
1 c chopped tomatoes
.5 c red onion
3 tblsp EVOO
2 tblsp red wine vinegar
salt & pepper to taste

Bring wheat berries & H2O to a boil, reduce and simmer 55 minutes or until tender. Run under cool H2O, drain and cool. If preparing dry black beans follow the same procedure as outline in the wheat berries.

Combine all ingredients and serve.
