Farro Salad With Radishes Arugula And Feta Recipes

FARRO SALAD WITH RADISHES, ARUGULA AND FETA

Steps:

• Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the farro to the boiling water and cook until tender, about 20 minutes. (If cooking whole-grain farro it will take 30 minutes.) Drain well.
• Add the olive oil and red pepper flakes to a large serving bowl. Add the tomatoes, mint, parsley, radishes, cucumbers and lemon juice and stir to combine with the oil. Toss in the farro while still slightly warm and combine with the salad. Top with the feta and season the salad with salt and pepper.

FARRO SALAD WITH FETA AND ARUGULA

Steps:

• Fill a medium saucepan with water, bring to a boil, add farro, lower the heat, and simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes, or according to package directions, until the farro is tender but pleasantly chewy. Once cooked, strain to remove excess water, rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process, and then transfer it to a bowl to cool completely. (If time permits, see notes for soaking farro prior to cooking.)
• While the farro is cooking, in a small bowl or jar, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper and mix until well combined.
• Once the farro has cooled, add the cucumber, red onion, arugula, parsley, and mint to the bowl of farro and toss to combine.
• Drizzle farro mixture with dressing and toss until well coated. Sprinkle with feta cheese and almonds and toss gently again to combine, and season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
• The farro salad can be served immediately or stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

MEDITERRANEAN FARRO SALAD WITH ARUGULA AND WALNUTS

Steps:

• Cook the farro. Bring 3 cups of water, seasoned with kosher salt, to a boil. Add the farro and lower the heat to medium. Simmer for 20 to 40 minutes, depending on the kind of farro you are using. The farro will have absorbed the water but use a sieve to fully drain. If you like, spread the farro on a tray or sheet pan and pat dry with a paper towel.
• Make the dressing using this Greek salad dressing recipe.
• Toss the salad together. In a mixing bowl, combine the farro (still somewhat warm) with the arugula, tomatoes, onions, peppers, walnuts, and fresh herbs. Pour the salad dressing, then toss well. Taste and adjust seasoning. Finish with a sprinkle of feta cheese to your liking.

CHARLIE BIRD'S FARRO SALAD

Steps:

• Place the farro, apple cider, bay leaves, 2 teaspoons salt, and 2 cups water in a medium saucepan, bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes, until the farro is tender. (If all the liquid is absorbed before the farro is tender, add a little more water.) Drain the farro and transfer to a large serving bowl. Discard the bay leaves.
• Meanwhile, in a small measuring cup, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Stir the vinaigrette into the warm farro and set aside for at least 15 minutes to cool.
• Before serving, stir in the pistachios, parsley, mint, tomatoes, and radishes. Add the arugula and lightly fold in the Parmesan so as not to break it up too much. Sprinkle with the sea salt and serve immediately.

CHARLIE BIRD'S FARRO SALAD

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, bring farro, apple cider, salt, bay leaves and 2 cups water to a simmer. Simmer until farro is tender and liquid evaporates, about 30 minutes. If all the liquid evaporates before the farro is done, add a little more water. Let farro cool, then discard bay leaves.
• In a salad bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Add farro, cheese and pistachio nuts and mix well. This salad base will keep for up to 4 hours at room temperature or overnight in the refrigerator (bring to room temperature before serving). Just before serving, fold in arugula, herbs, tomatoes, radish and flaky salt to taste.

Steps:

• For the vinaigrette: Heat the oil and garlic cloves in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until simmering. Adjust the heat to maintain a slow simmer.
