Ingredients:

Salad:

1 cup KAMUT® wheat berries

4-5 large carrots

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

1/2-1 teaspoon chipotle powder

1 avocado

1/4 cup sunflower seeds

1 tablespoon freshly chopped cilantro for topping

Dressing:

1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lime juice

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Directions:
