 winner in a contest sponsored by the Kansas City Star for

 The creator of this salad says that it's best to mix it
 together and let it sit in the refrigerator at least
 overnight, to let the flavors mix and meld.
 to cook wheatberries: they should be soaked for at least half
 an hour before cooking them.  To cook, cover them with water
 in a saucepan, bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer
 gently for 30 minutes.  If you don't care for wheatberries,
 you can substitute fresh corn off the cob instead.
