Ingredients
- 1 cup farro
- 6 oz. grape tomatoes (about 1/2 pint)
- 1 English cucumber
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1/2 small red onion
- 1/3 cup kalamata olives (optional)
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley
For the lemon-vinegar dressing:
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp. Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp. dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder (or 1 minced clove)
- 1/4 tsp. salt
Instructions
- Cook farro: In a medium pot over high heat, bring about 7-8 cups of water to a boil. Then add farro (rinsed well). Reduce heat to medium-high and simmer uncovered for 25-30 minutes or until desired tenderness. Drain.
- Make dressing: Meanwhile, add all dressing ingredients to a small bowl. Whisk and set aside.
- Prepare veggies: Halve or quarter the tomatoes. Dice the cucumber and bell pepper. Finely dice the red onion. Slice the olives. Roughly chop the parsley. Place all in a large bowl.
- Combine salad: Add the cooked farro to the veggies. Then pour the dressing over the top. Toss well to combine.
- Serve: Enjoy this dish immediately or let it chill covered in the refrigerator for an hour to further combine. (Give it a stir again before serving as some dressing will settle at the bottom.)
