2/3 cup wheatberries

2 papayas

1 cup strawberries -- halved

1/2 cup sliced celery

1/2 cup vanilla yogurt

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

or salad dressing

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

lettuce leaves

1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts -- toasted

 

1. In a small saucepan combine water and wheat berries. Bring to a boil; reduce

2. For papaya shells, use a sharp knife to cut the papayas lengthwise in half.

Remove seeds. Cut out papaya pulp, leaving 1/4-inch thick shells. Cover and

chill shells. Cut papaya pulp into 1/2-inch cubes.

 

3. In a large mixing bowl combine papaya cubes, cooked wheat berries,

strawberries, and celery. For dressing, in a small bowl stir together the

yogurt, mayonnaise or salad dressing, and ginger. Pour over wheat berry mixture,

tossing gently to coat. If desired, cover and chill for up to 4 hours.

 

4. To serve, place papaya shells on individual lettuce-lined plates. Spoon wheat

berry mixture into papaya shells. Sprinkle with walnuts. Makes 4 servings.
