2. Make the Dressing: In another bowl, whisk together the freshly squeezed orange juice.

3. Emulsify the Dressing: Slowly drizzle the extra virgin olive oil into the orange juice while whisking briskly. This helps emulsify the dressing, creating a smooth and creamy texture.

4. Add Lemon Juice: Once the dressing is emulsified, add freshly squeezed lemon juice to taste. Adjust the amount according to your preference, balancing the sweetness of the orange juice with the tartness of the lemon.

5. Pour Over Salad: Gradually pour the dressing over the wheatberry mixture, adding it a little at a time. Toss the salad gently after each addition, ensuring that the dressing coats all the ingredients evenly.

6. Adjust Flavor: Taste the salad after each addition of the dressing and stop when you’re satisfied with the flavor. You can always add more dressing if needed.

7. Let it Rest: This salad is best when left to marinate overnight, allowing the flavors to meld together. However, it’s still delicious if served immediately.

8. Storage Tip: If you’re storing the salad overnight, reserve any leftover dressing in the fridge. The flavors mellow and develop beautifully, making it even more irresistible the next day.
