CUCUMBER, MELON AND FARRO SALAD WITH FETA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Add the farro and cook until tender, 22 to 24 minutes. Drain, spread out on a large plate and let cool.
• Combine the cucumbers, cantaloupe, tomatoes and farro in a large serving bowl; set aside.

SIMPLE SHIRAZI SALAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Place diced tomatoes for a few minutes in a colander to release excess liquid. (I don't remove the seeds, so this step helps.)
• In a large bowl, place the diced tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and bell peppers.
• To flavor, add fresh herbs, dried mint, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Add sumac (I started with 1 tsp). Finally, add lime juice, and a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Toss to combine.
• If you have the time, cover and chill this salad in the fridge for 30 minutes to 1 hour for best taste.
