Very tasty wholegrain salad, patience is worth it!

The night before, cover the rye grains with water and let them soak (about 10 hours in 1 liter of water). Drain the water and cook them al dente in 1 liter of water for about an hour. Drain the rye grains. Prepare a salad dressing with vinegar, oil, onion, garlic, mustard, and the spices. Add the paprika to the salad dressing and let it steep for 1/2 hour. Then add the lukewarm rye grains and corn, let it steep for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally, and serve. Serve with dark rye bread and a rich red wine.
