Summer Farro Salad
Description
Summer Farro Salad brings together hearty cooked farro and a variety of fresh produce including spinach or kale greens, juicy peaches, blueberries, halved grape tomatoes, and sweet corn kernels. Feta cheese adds a creamy, salty element complemented by fresh chopped basil for an aromatic touch. The dressing, made from olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, champagne vinegar, minced garlic, and shallot, ties all components with a bright and tangy flavor.
The blend of textures—from the chewy whole grain farro to the crisp greens and tender fruit—creates a satisfying mouthfeel. The salad is served immediately after tossing with dressing to preserve the freshness and crunch of ingredients. It is ideal as a light lunch or a side, pairing well with grilled proteins or as part of a picnic spread.
