Wheat Berry Salad With Apples and Cashews

Submitted by charlie 5

"Love this salad especially in the fall. Sometimes I will make another batch of the dressing and add it in prior to serving if it has absorbed it all. Can't give credit to anyone - don't remember where I got this. Have been asked MANY times for this recipe. Really don't know how many servings."
