Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Cook the farro

Rinse the farro under cold water. In a medium pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the rinsed farro and a pinch of salt. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the farro is tender but still slightly chewy. Drain any excess water and set the farro aside to cool.

2
Prepare the vegetables

While the farro is cooking, wash the cherry tomatoes and cucumber. Halve the cherry tomatoes and place them in a large bowl. Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise, then slice it into 1/4-inch thick half-moons. Add the sliced cucumber to the bowl with the tomatoes.

3
Chop the onion and parsley

Peel and finely chop the red onion. Roughly chop the parsley leaves. Add the chopped onion and parsley to the bowl with the tomatoes and cucumber.

4
Make the lemon vinaigrette

Juice the lemon into a small bowl. Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Add the minced garlic, Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the lemon juice. Whisk the ingredients together until well combined.

5
Assemble the salad

Add the cooled farro to the bowl with the vegetables. Pour the lemon vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring that all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.

6
Serve

Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning if needed. Divide the farro and veggie salad among four serving bowls or plates. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious and nutritious salad!
