AuthorAnn GaffneyMediterranean Farro Salad is a wonderful no-cook way to use this ancient grain. All you need to do is soak it overnight to give it the perfect 'al dente' bite, then toss it together with a refreshing selection of summer veggies and herbs and a wonderful citrusy dressing. The perfect summer meal!
Drain the farro and set aside.
Make the dressing: In a medium salad bowl beat the oil, lemon juice and salt together. Add the lemon zest, pink peppercorns, mint and dill. Mix well.
Add the tomatoes, cucumber, snap peas and celery. Toss everything together with the sumac. Add the drained farro and toss well to mix. Let the salad sit for 10 minutes for the flavors to blend.
Just before serving toss in the feta cheese and taste for salt. Add the arugula. That’s it!
Quick tip: Make it ahead of time up to step 3 and finish before eating with step 4..
