Our hearty salad tastes equally good warm from the pan, cold from the fridge or even at room temperature, so it's perfect for make-ahead meals and leftover lunches. Other grains, such as barley, faro or wild rice, also work well in this salad.

  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine olive oil, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, garlic, oregano and cayenne. Place kale in a 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Combine tomatoes, onion and chickpeas in another 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Drizzle the kale and the tomato mixture with 1 tablespoon each of the oil mixture; toss to coat. Roast, uncovered, at 350° for about 8 minutes for kale (or until edges are brown) and about 30 minutes for tomato mixture (or until tomatoes start to shrink and onion and chickpeas start to brown), stirring once.

  • Drain excess liquid from wheat berries (if needed) and transfer wheat berries to a shallow salad bowl. Add kale and tomato mixture. Add lemon juice to remaining oil mixture; whisk to combine. Drizzle salad with dressing; toss. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Top with Parmesan cheese. Serve warm, at room temperature or chilled.
