I served this salad to my family two nights ago (hot outside). They are all male, ranging from elementary school to adult. I heard “Wow!” more than once and all of them had several helpings. I also enjoyed it. I followed the recipe almost exactly – didn’t have red wine vinegar so I used rice vinegar. Still good. Thank you for such a fabulous, easy to make recipe! This is what we call a “keeper.”
Absolutely delicious! The farro makes it so hearty, it’s like a meal in itself. Everyone in the family loves it – even the picky eater. I’ve made it for many a potluck and have always been asked for the recipe before I leave!
What is your last name? Because this site says it was ME that posted this. And IT WAS NOT
everyone at our gathering loved it and asked how to make this recipe!
We make this at least every few months. Great for meal prep and even my 7 year old LOVES it! Thak you so much
Excellent and easy recipe. I sautéed the onions then added fresh red bell pepper. At the end I added a clove of garlic. I kept the tomatoes and cucumber raw and added them last. The dressing was just right :) I will make this again.
Made this for my family and coworkers….everyone loved it!
I have made this salad many times. Often I use a mixture of Farro, Spelt and quinoa as grains (cooked in chicken broth). I use cilantro instead of parsley, red onion, lower sugar dried cranberries (1/4 cup) and toasted pine nuts (1/4 cup) and enjoy hearing the rave reviews and requests for my recipe.
This was amazing!!! I will definitely be making it again…and again…and again
Love this farro salad! So good, thanks for great recipes:)
This is seriously delicious! I wanted to make a farro vegetable salad for the 4th, and I’m SO happy I chose your recipe! I did substitute halved grape tomatoes for the sundried ones (because, hello, summer tomatoes!). The vinaigrette was so fresh and light tasting and just perfect for this salad. We all ate extra helpings because it is just so good! Thank you very much for this delightful recipe!
