WHEATBERRY BLUE CHEESE SALAD

We had bought some blue cheese crumbles for a steak topper for a Sunday steak dinner.  Neither my husband or I had ever had chunks of blue cheese but had heard they were to die for on a nice beefy steak.  We took the chance, and of course it was, just what people said it was...delicious!

Wasn't sure how long the left over cheese would last and with my husband stating "I bet those would be good in a salad" I concocted this great salad with things I had left from other meals during the week.  This salad is fresh tasting with a simple vinaigrette and the taste of the blue cheese crumbles is outstanding!
  • 2 cups cooked wheat berries
  • 1/2 cup small diced carrots
  • 1/3 cup diced celery
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup reduced fat blue cheese crumbles
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 2 tbsp evoo
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

Mix everything together in the same bowl and enjoy!
