Looks amazing! Do you have nutrition information?
Thank you, Rachel! Unfortunately we do not. We currently are not publishing nutrition facts on the site, as the nutrition calculators available are not 100% accurate, and we never want to publish anything that might be misleading. However, a lot of our readers love the My Fitness Pal nutrition calculator, so feel free to try that for an estimate. We hope that helps!
This salad was as easy to make as the recipe described and delicious! We all agreed it tasted a lot like tabouli with farro beans which was a delicious way to enjoy some whole grains. Thanks for the recipe! Ps, we’re all HoC fans, too!
We’re so glad it was a hit, Katelyn!
I’ve made this a couple of times. Very delicious. Thanks for sharing!
We’re so glad you enjoyed it, Carrie!
This was delicious – heavy on the veggies with nice farro chewiness. I used a chopped zucchini instead of the cucumber, and fresh bell pepper instead of roasted.
I am guessing you could try this with barley if you couldn’t find farro?
We’re so glad you enjoyed it Rebecca! And yes, we think you could try this with barley instead of farro. You could also use bulgur/cracked wheat if you wanted.
Mediterranean food is love! Will definitely try this. Thank you for sharing Ali. :)
Thanks Marianela — we hope you love it! :)

Hi Kamal! We’re sorry but we are unsure of the nutrition facts/amount of calories in this recipe.

What else would this work with in place of farro? I have a hard time finding it at my grocery store. Lots of quinoa, barley and couscous…
Honestly you could use just about any grain — but we think barley, freekeh, or Israeli couscous would work the best! We hope you enjoy! :)
Are the roasted red peppers in a jar?
Yes, but sometimes we roast our own — you can do whichever you like! :)
That salad looks soooo delicious. I also love adding roasted red peppers to the salads I make. I’m sure I’ll greatly enjoy this exquisite Mediterranean taste.
P.S. House of Cards is a great choice ;)
Thanks Kelly — we hope you love it! And we’re big fans of roasted red peppers and they would be a killer addition to this! :)
I made a similar dish a few times and even soups. Farro is just an amazing cereal. I usually buy it when I am over to Italy as it is cheaper. I love the look of your salad, so fresh and healthy! I am going to make this very soon! Thanks for the lovely recipe :-)
Thanks Alida! We hope you enjoy it! :)
