Wheat Berries, Barley, Quinoa, and Chickpeas With Golden Tomatoes, Artichoke Hearts, Feta, and Basil

In the summer heat, bring the heat down on classic winter grains like wheat berries, barley and quinoa by serving them in chilled salads. With a bit of salt and an uplift from herbs and cheese, grains serve as a flavorful platform for seasonal vegetables. Golden tomatoes pop when paired with basil, and artichoke hearts compliment the tang of feta.
