cold farro salad

Farro salad recipe, prepared Mediterranean-style with peppery arugula, fresh veggies, feta and a good handful of walnuts. It’s the perfect weeknight meal and is even better for lunch the next day! You can cook the farro and prepare the dressing ahead of time (see recipe notes).

Mediterranean Farro Salad with Arugula and Walnuts

dry farro

kosher salt

baby arugula

cherry tomatoes, (halved)

green onions, (trimmed and chopped)

bell pepper (any color), (cored and chopped)

walnut halves/pieces

parsley

mint

dill

Feta cheese, (to your liking)

Homemade Greek salad dressing,

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.

I am not a fan of feta. What cheese can I substitute for it?

This dish was awesome. It made for a great side dish on a warm summer evening. I served it with baked chicken, but it could have stood alone.

This was amazing! It will definitely be on rotation in our house!

Beautiful blend of greens with grain! I used red bulgar because it’s what I had. I’ll definitely be making this again.

I made this tonight for dinner with a few friends. It was delicious and everyone loved it. I didn't have any mint so I added some extra parsley and some fresh basil. 10/10, would make again!

love! wish that more recipes were in smaller sizes. Reducing a recipe from 6 servings to 1 or 2 is a pain.

Great combination of flavors and textures - the use of walnuts was a nice surprise!

OMG!  This is THE MOST delicious salad we’ve ever eaten!  My husband was exclaiming his pleasure with every bite he took. Need I say more?😍😍

This was really great! The farro gave the impression of a solid meal, while the tomatoes brightened everything up and the walnuts gave some texture and contrast. I couldn't ask for anything better! This is now one of our favorites.

Suzy,  I have made this recipe multiple times , for myself and for dinner parties.  It is absolutely unexpectedly DELICIOUS.  I say unexpectedly because most people are not familiar with farro, it is always a hit.  And it is even better leftover .  Thanks so much,
