Farro Salad With Lemon Vinaigrette
Description
This Farro Salad is built by layering fresh arugula and cooked farro, then topping with sliced apples, crumbled feta cheese, and dried cranberries for sweetness. The lemon vinaigrette blends neutral oil, Dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice, salt, and pepper, adding acidity and a subtle sharpness that highlights the salad’s components. Tossing the dressing over the salad unifies the flavors.
The salad offers a crunchy, juicy bite from the apple and cranberries, creaminess from feta, and a chewy texture from farro. It works well as a standalone light meal or as an accompaniment to richer proteins. The fresh lemon dressing enhances the salad's brightness and freshness.
No special preparation or make-ahead notes were provided. The salad is best served soon after dressing to maintain the crispness of arugula and apples.
