Make this Mediterranean farro salad for a healthy lunch or side dish. This easy, vegetarian recipe features nutty farro, fresh vegetables, and creamy feta tossed in a zesty lemon vinaigrette. It is ready in about 45 minutes and is excellent for meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup semi-pearled farro
  • 3 cups water or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 large cucumber, diced
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, halved
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • For the Vinaigrette:
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the farro: Combine farro and water or broth in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 to 35 minutes, or until tender but still slightly chewy. Drain any excess liquid and let the farro cool slightly.
  2. Prepare the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, combine the cooled farro, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, olives, and fresh parsley.
  4. Dress the salad: Pour the vinaigrette over the farro mixture. Toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
  5. Add feta: Fold in the crumbled feta cheese just before serving.
  6. Serve: You can serve this healthy farro salad immediately or chill it for later. It is great for meal prep salads with farro.

Notes

  • This recipe works well for clean eating farro recipes because it uses whole grains and fresh produce.
  • For a heartier grain bowl, add 1 cup of chopped roasted sweet potato when assembling.
  • The salad tastes better after chilling for 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
