Spring Farro Salad + Lemon Vinaigrette

Mar 26, 2020

Boredom has set in big time here so I have been cooking a lot to stay busy. I usually make more couscous and quinoa salads but I had some Farro and decided to use it instead. It has a rich nutty flavor and is more robust then the other two. That being said this salad could be made with quinoa, couscous, pasta whatever you prefer and have on hand! I love the combo of the veggies with the mozzarella cheese and lemon vinaigrette. Enjoy!

S P R I N G F A R R O S A L A D + L E M O N V I N I A G R E T T E

1 cup cooked Farro

2 baby cucumbers sliced

1 cup cherry tomatoes halved

asparagus (boil briefly for 2-3 minutes)

mozzarella balls

1 small jar marinated artichoke hearts (save the liquid)

fresh basil

chives

D R E S S I N G

1/4 cup juice from marinated artichoke hearts

juice of one lemon

2 tablespoons champagne vinegar

2 tablespoons olive oil

salt and pepper

Cook Farro according to package and let cool slightly. Cut all veggies and place in a bowl with mozzarella and herbs. Add in Farro and toss. Mix all dressing ingredients and shake to blend in a mason jar. Pour dressing over salad.
