Combine the cooked wheat berries and wild rice in a large bowl.
Whisk the lime juice, honey, mustard, salt, and pepper to make the dressing. Add the dressing to the wheat berries and wild rice. Mix thoroughly.
Add the cranberries, pecans, parsley, and green onions and combine well.

Cooking Instructions:

To prepare the hard red wheat for cooking, combine 1 cup of wheat and 1 cup of flax seed in an electric coffee grinder.
Grind for 3 minutes.
When it is a desired texture, pour into a bowl. Or, grind it for intervals of 2 minutes until it reaches your desired texture.
