This salad is delicious! I added black and green olives in olive oil and I finely slivered the red onion into about 1inch slices. Easy to pick out it if needed But flavor is there for onion lovers.
What is the nutritional information for this recipe?
This was so yummy. I had no experience with farro so this was my first try. This I would make again regularly. I served with grilled chicken and tzatziki sauce.
Delicious and easy! I like farro salads, and I’ve been looking for the best recipe, and this is it!
Love this recipe but, as others have mentioned, I would like to know how many calories per serving.
If making one day in advance of serving should I hold off on putting the dressing until day of serving? Thank you.
Delicious! I added a can of garbanzos for extra protein and quick-pickled the red onion to lighten its ‘bite.’. Whole family loved it!
Love this! Followed directions as printed. Definate keeper.
Delicious! Added olives cos I had them – such a fab work lunch. I had this with sweet potato falafel all week and never got tired of it
