Tenderly cooked wheat berries and crisp spinach dressed with beautifully fresh notes of tangy citrus and sweet honey. This colorful plate is layers of texture and flavor built one on top of another. Best made during the winter which is the peak season of the citruses and spinach, however, this refreshing dish is definitely enjoyable at any time of the year.
