Wheat Berry Salad with Raisins, Beets and Citrus Vinaigrette

Find wheat berries in the bulk aisle, and get just the amount you need. Toss with cubes of tofu or diced turkey just before serving, if you like. To avoid staining your hands with beet juice, wear kitchen gloves or use the shredding attachment on a food processor.
