Instructions

Creating Mediterranean Farro Salad is both simple and rewarding. Just follow these easy steps:

1. Cook the Farro: Rinse the farro under cold water. In a medium pot, combine farro and water (or broth). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 25-30 minutes until tender. Drain any excess liquid and let cool.

2. Prepare the Vegetables: While the farro is cooking, chop the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, and red onion into bite-sized pieces.

3. Mix the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined.

4. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled farro, diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, red onion, Kalamata olives, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped parsley.

5. Add Dressing: Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything together gently until all ingredients are well coated.

6. Chill the Salad: For the best flavor, let the salad sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This resting time allows the flavors to meld beautifully.

7. Serve: Once chilled, give the salad a quick toss and taste for seasoning. Adjust salt and pepper if needed.

8. Enjoy: Serve in individual bowls or on a large platter, and enjoy the freshness of your Mediterranean Farro Salad!
