Farro Salad with Feta, Cucumbers and Sun-dried Tomatoes
Description
Cooked pearl farro serves as the hearty base for this salad, providing a chewy texture and nutty flavor. The ingredients include finely chopped cucumber and bell pepper for freshness and crunch, paired with minced red onion for a mild sharpness. Tangy feta cheese is added for creaminess, while sun-dried tomatoes contribute concentrated tomato flavor and slight sweetness.
The salad is dressed simply with fresh lemon juice and olive oil, which brightens the flavors without overpowering them. Chopped fresh herbs like mint or parsley add a fresh green note. The salad is tossed well and can be eaten chilled or at room temperature, making it versatile for different serving occasions.
