Farro Salad with Corn, Tomatoes and Edamame
Description
The salad starts by simmering farro with water, salt, and smashed garlic until tender, then draining. The sherry vinaigrette is prepared by shaking or whisking together sherry vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to create a bright and tangy dressing. The warm farro is combined with the vinaigrette and fresh ingredients like grilled corn kernels, halved grape tomatoes, cooked edamame, and chopped parsley. Finally, crumbled feta cheese is sprinkled on top for a creamy, salty contrast to the grain and vegetables.
This combination results in a salad with a hearty and chewy grain base, sweet and smoky notes from the grilled corn, freshness from tomatoes and parsley, and slight creaminess from feta. It can be served warm shortly after combining or chilled to allow flavors to meld, making it adaptable for side dishes or light meals.
