Farro salad (also good with any cooked grain)

  • Minutes to Prepare:
  • Number of Servings: 6
Ingredients
2 1/2 cups or so of cooked farro (from 1 cup dried)3 cups diced tomatoes1 bunch scallions, chopped1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley or 1 tablespoon dried (or more to taste)1/4 cup chopped fresh mint, optional (not in nutrition for this recipe)1 teaspoon salt1/4 cup acid (nutrition for this recipe is for balsamic vinegar -- use whatever you like)1/4 cup oil (use any oil; I like to match it to the acid)black pepper to taste1-5 cloves of minced garlic, to taste
Directions
Cook the farro like you would pasta -- in a pot of boiling water. Drain. Add the rest of the ingredients, stir, and eat at room temperature, or chill until later. I like it best when it's been refrigerated at least a couple of hours. Stir it and taste for seasoning right before serving -- it may need more dressing or salt.
