Cook 1.5 cups of wheat berries in 3 cups of water by bringing the water to a boil.

Add the wheat berries to the boiling water and simmer for close to an hour until all the water is absorbed.

Chop one apple into small pieces.

In a bowl, combine the cooked wheat berries, chopped apple, 1 cup of chopped walnuts, and 0.5 cup of raisins.

For the dressing, mix together 1/3 cup of orange juice, 1 teaspoon of white miso, 0.5 teaspoon of cinnamon, a couple of grinds of black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of maple syrup.

Taste the dressing to adjust flavors if necessary.

Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and mix well to combine all ingredients.

Let the salad sit in the refrigerator to allow flavors to meld together.
