This features a wonderful blend of flavors and ingredients. I doubled the dressing recipe to marinate some chicken for grilling. Even the pickiest eater in the family wanted seconds!
Love this dish! But I substituted salad tomatoes for the sun dried/roasted combo. Also didn’t get my farro dry enough after cooking — it was kind of soupy even after draining off excess broth. In the recipe photo, the farro grains look totally individual — mine didn’t. Also need darker farro for more contrast. But everyone loved it!
Can’t wait to make this. Sounds delicious!¡!!!
Can you use quinoa instead of farro for this?
What a super side dish/salad. For those concerned with the nutritional info, you can reduce sodium by using low salt chicken broth and lower salt feta cheese. The bulk of calories would be Faro, however the health benefits of faro in my opinion outweigh its calorie content. Thanks for a great recipe!
Made it a couple of days ago. It was delicious. Highly reccomend
I make this all the time and it is delicious! Guests always ask me for the recipe after dinner.
This is the 3rd time I’ve made this dish and it is so delicious! The only thing that I am disappointed about is that there are no calorie or serving size listed! I almost didn’t make it because of this.
You could also scoop this onto a bed of baby arugula.
I made this salad this morning for lunch, but one taste, and lunch turned to brunch! LOL! So good. Thank you!
