1 small bunch cilantro, finely chopped
Juice of 1 lime
3 cups cooked wheat (wheat berries)
1 can corn, drained
1 can black beans, drained
2 tsp. chili powder
2 tsp. cumin powder
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 Tbs. sugar
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tsp salt

Cook wheat in a slow cooker overnight; 3 cups to 10 cups water. Drain wheat, corn and beans. zplace all ingredients in large bowl and toss well. Chill for an hour before serving. Can be served alone as a salad or with chorn chips as a salsa

Note: 3 cups of wheat kernels cooked in 10 cups of water make about 7 cups of cooked wheat.You can add wheat berries to just about anything. They make a great hamburger extender. I also like to just put a little sugar and milk on them and eat them for breakfast.

Salsa

This recipe is a combination of different recipes and is really up to taste and what they have at the grocery store. I love all salsa, but the best salsa always comes from Donna(Mother in-law). I have tried making hers a thousand times and I can't get it to ever taste like hers. But I do have to say that I love to make it and the smell is heavenly.

Salsa Ingredients:

6-10 Fresh Tomato's

1 Large can or jar of Stewed Tomato's

1 of Bushel Green Onions

1-2 Bushel of Cilantro

1 Large chopped(small) White Onion

1 Lime

3-4 Garlic Cloves

1/2-1 Jalapeno

2 Yellow Hot or Anaheim Peppers

Chop onion, green onion, and cilantro small. Put jar of stewed tomatoes in blender with half of cilantro and garlic cloves.( sometimes you have to put half of the jar of tomatoes in blender). Blend 2-4 times for just just a second for each pulse. Pour tomato's into bowl. Roast hot peppers in oven on low broil, flipping until blackened all around. Pull them out and immediately put into zip lock bag to steam. Then while waiting for peppers, chop fresh tomato's small and add to bowl. Chop jalapeno small and add to your desired hotness. Squeeze 1/2- 1 lime into mixture. Pull peppers from bag and peel the skin off, chop the top of pepper with the steam off, and chop pepper small(pull the seeds out first if you don't like heat, or half of seeds for medium heat. Taste the pepper if you want to see how hot it is, some are way hotter than others.) Add the rest of ingredients.

Then salt, garlic salt, and pepper to taste.
