Oh, this was yummy – first time I’ve tried farro. I also added diced avocado, which worked pretty well. Thanks for the recipe – definitely a do-over!
We’re so glad you enjoyed it Jenny! :)
I have never tasted farro. I’ve never seen it in my local store. Is it hard to find? Also, how long does it take to cook?
You should be able to find farro in the rice section (near the quinoa, usually). It takes about 30 min to cook. We hope this helps!
My daughter made the mediterranean farro salad I like it very much

Thank you so much, Michelle! :)
Amazing! Added grilled chicken, cherry tomatoes and a bunch of kale and turned it into a hearty meal!
Those additions sound awesome Lizzie, and we’re so glad you enjoyed this! :)
I didn’t have sun dried tomatoes and was to lazy to roast the peppers, so I de-seeded the tomatoes and just diced an orange bell pepper. It was amazing that way, too!
Every recipe I have made from your blog has been a “keeper”. Thank God, because my kids are really sick of my go-to meals! Thank you!
