Ingredients in Farro Salad
Farro – This recipe uses pearled farro which is a bit faster to cook. Find uncooked farro in one-pound bags, or you can buy farro online here. It has a nutty flavor and a little bit of a chewy texture. If you can’t find farro, use barley, quinoa, or brown rice.
Vegetables – Greek salad inspired veggies like tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, and spinach hold up well against the hearty farro. Kale and arugula are great additions, too!
Farro Salad Dressing – Double up this recipe to use as a marinade for veggies or chicken, if desired. Short on time? Use a store-bought bottle of French vinaigrette.
Toppings – Top this farro salad recipe with a sprinkle of feta and fresh herbs like parsley.
Variations – Add chopped olives, small cubes of roasted butternut squash, or asparagus. Top with chopped nuts like almonds, walnuts, or pecans for some crunch!
