I don’t often leave comments on recipes but this one was so flavorful that I had to! The farro was a great texture change from similarly flavored salads made with rice, quinoa or pasta. The whole recipe tasted next-level to me. Thanks!
Sept 15, 2023 …..Excellent!!! I added diced avocado too.
Made this as an accompaniment for grilled chicken last night and it was a hit with all 5 people! Only change I made was fresh oregano for dried since I had it in my garden. Will definitely make again.
Great recipe but I think you need 4 cups of stock rather than 3 to cook the farro.
I made this and added zucchini instead of cucumbers
Delish! Thank you.

Since discovering this recipe over 5 years ago, this shows up at dinner regularly throughout the summer. Great to make ahead and bring to BBQ or beach. I also add chopped pepperoncini
Roasted the Farro before cooking, added some maple syrup to sweeten dressing. Added a few chopped mint leaves; didn’t have feta so I used crumbled Parmesan; topped salad with chopped fresh oranges and pistachios. Add crushed pepper flakes for some heat. Will make it again!
Delicious! I think adding some kalamata olives would be a great addition. I omitted onion b/c we don’t like it but otherwise kept to the recipe. A keeper!
Excellent fresh flavors! I followed the recipe as written and everyone loved it!
Amazing! I’m making this salad doubled for a second time because my family devoured it. I make it a day ahead and add the cucumbers before serving for extra crunch. I followed the salad and dressing recipes exactly for this winning combination! Thank you!!
