My son is currently having a love affair with farro. 🤷♀️. That leaves me searching around for farro recipes, and I didn’t have to go much further then delish Best Farro Salad Ever. Not an overstatement. Everyone loved it. I added grilled chicken breast to add some heft and used earthlychoice microwaveable farro to cut down cooking time. 👩🏻🍳. https://www.delish.com/cooking/recipe-ideas/recipes/a43059/best-farro-salad-recipe/. Best Ever Farro Salad
INGREDIENTS
1 c. whole-grain farro
1 Large shallot, very thinly sliced
1/3 c. extra virgin olive oil
3 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp. dijon mustard
2 tsp. honey
Freshly ground black pepper
2 c. lightly packed arugula
1 Green apple, chopped
1/2 c. shaved parmesan cheese
1/4 c. freshly chopped basil
1/8 c. freshly chopped parsley
1/4 c. toasted pecans, roughly chopped
DIRECTIONS
* I used Earthly Choice microwaveable farro. After farro is cooked, transfer to a large bowl to cool.
* In the meantime, make fried shallots: in a small saucepan over medium heat, combine oil and shallots. When the shallots begin to bubble, reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until shallots are golden and crisp, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove shallots from oil with a slotted spoon and place on a paper-towel lined plate and season with salt. Let oil cool.
* Make dressing: in a medium bowl, combine the cooled olive oil with vinegar, mustard, and honey and season with salt and pepper.
* Assemble salad: combine cooked farro, crispy shallots, arugula, apple, parmesan, basil, parsley, and pecans. Drizzle dressing over salad and toss to coat.
Farro and arugula?!? Definitely trying this one! I’m in love with farro now too after trying your butternut squash recipe!
Yum!
