Ingredients
- 1 cup dry farro
- 1 ⅓ cup cannellini beans 15 oz can, drained and rinsed
- ¼ cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes ones that are red instead of brownish in color
- 1 cup mini mozzarella balls also called pearled mozzarella I think
- 4 cups baby arugula
- additional sea salt and pepper to taste
Basil Vinaigrette
- 1 cup packed basil slightly chopped
- ½ cup olive oil
- 3 Tablespoon red wine vinegar
- ¼ cup shallot
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground pepper
Instructions
- Cook farro according to package. You should end up with a little over 2 cups of cooked farro once cooked and drained. Run under cold water to cool. Drain well.
- Add all dressing ingredients into a high powered blender and blend for at least 1 minute, or until basil is really chopped up and dressing is emulsified. Yield: little less than 3/4 cup total
- Add cooked farro, cannellini beans, sun-dried tomatoes, mozzarella balls and arugula into a bowl. Add dressing and toss. Taste and add more salt and pepper, if desired. Serve right away or chill in the fridge before serving. Recipe will keep up to 3 days in the fridge.
Notes
- Farro swap: If needed you can use barley instead of farro for this salad. You could also use quinoa or brown rice for a gluten free option.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
