I had never tried farro until recently
when my cafeteria at work offered
some different salads made with
this tasty grain!
This one with a Mediterranean
twist was definitely mine and my
family’s favorite!
This is the farro that our cafeteria
used for the recipes at work…
They even had them
available for us to purchase…
recipe cards…
the whole nine yards!
If you couldn’t tell,
I love and appreciate
my cafeteria!
I was also able to find
them on Amazon
when I ran out…
What IS farro you ask???
To get started on this recipe,
Prepare farro according to package directions and set aside to cool.
In another bowl, combine the chopped
roma tomatoes, cucumber, kalamata olives…
Next…make your Greek vinaigrette by
combining the olive oil,
lemon juice, zest,
red wine vinegar, oregano,
garlic powder, salt and pepper…
Pour over the chopped veggies
and gently stir in the farro,
and crumbled feta cheese…
It will come together
beautifully like this!
Refrigerate a couple of hours
or over night before serving…
Enjoy!
