In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil over high heat. Add wheat berries, stir, cover and simmer over low heat until wheat berries are tender, but still chewy, about 30 to 40 minutes.
Remove from heat and drain any excess water. Rinse wheat berries under cold water.
In a large mixing bowl combine cooked wheat berries, apple, pomegranate seeds, green onions and arugula.
In a small mixing bowl whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, mustard, apple juice, salt and pepper.
Pour dressing over wheat berry salad; toss to coat.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
