Ingredients

Salad Ingredients

  • 3 cups cooked farro
  • 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
  • 3/4 cup chopped cucumber
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Dressing Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • Kosher salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Mix salad ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooked farro, halved cherry tomatoes, chopped cucumber, thinly sliced red onion, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped fresh parsley. Stir gently to distribute the ingredients evenly.
  2. Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, honey, and fresh lemon juice until well emulsified and combined. This will create a tangy and slightly sweet dressing.
  3. Dress the salad: Drizzle the dressing over the farro mixture. Toss everything thoroughly to ensure the dressing coats all the ingredients. Taste and add kosher salt as needed for seasoning.
  4. Add walnuts and serve: Sprinkle the chopped walnuts on top of the salad for a crunchy texture. Serve the salad at room temperature, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.

Notes

  • Farro should be cooked and cooled before assembling the salad; cook according to package instructions.
  • This salad can be stored refrigerated for up to 2 days; add walnuts just before serving to keep them crunchy.
  • For a vegan version, omit feta cheese or substitute with a plant-based cheese alternative.
  • Adjust honey quantity based on desired sweetness.
