Farro Salad With Feta And Arugula Food

FARRO SALAD WITH FETA AND ARUGULA

Steps:

• Fill a medium saucepan with water, bring to a boil, add farro, lower the heat, and simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes, or according to package directions, until the farro is tender but pleasantly chewy. Once cooked, strain to remove excess water, rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process, and then transfer it to a bowl to cool completely. (If time permits, see notes for soaking farro prior to cooking.)
• While the farro is cooking, in a small bowl or jar, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper and mix until well combined.
• Once the farro has cooled, add the cucumber, red onion, arugula, parsley, and mint to the bowl of farro and toss to combine.
• Drizzle farro mixture with dressing and toss until well coated. Sprinkle with feta cheese and almonds and toss gently again to combine, and season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
• The farro salad can be served immediately or stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

FARRO SALAD WITH RADISHES, ARUGULA AND FETA

Steps:

• Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the farro and cook until tender, about 20 minutes. (If cooking whole-grain farro, it will take 30 minutes.) Drain well.
• Combine the olive oil and red pepper flakes in a large serving bowl. Add the tomatoes, mint, parsley, radishes, cucumber and lemon juice and stir to combine with the oil. Toss in the farro while still slightly warm. Add the arugula and toss. Top with the feta and season with salt and pepper.

MEDITERRANEAN FARRO SALAD WITH ARUGULA AND WALNUTS

Steps:

• Cook the farro. Bring 3 cups of water, seasoned with kosher salt, to a boil. Add the farro and lower the heat to medium. Simmer for 20 to 40 minutes, depending on the kind of farro you are using. The farro will have absorbed the water but use a sieve to fully drain. If you like, spread the farro on a tray or sheet pan and pat dry with a paper towel.
• Make the dressing using this Greek salad dressing recipe.
• Toss the salad together. In a mixing bowl, combine the farro (still somewhat warm) with the arugula, tomatoes, onions, peppers, walnuts, and fresh herbs. Pour the salad dressing, then toss well. Taste and adjust seasoning. Finish with a sprinkle of feta cheese to your liking.
