Ingredients
Salad
- 1 1/4 cups dried farro cooked according to package directions
- 2 cups arugula
- 1 medium sized cucumber cut into small chunks (~1/3” cubes)
- 1/4 cup green onions chopped
- 1/4 cup red onion diced
- 1 cup baby tomatoes halved
- 1/2 cup feta cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh dill chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh mint chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh oregano chopped
Vinaigrette
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- Juice of 1 medium sized lemon
- Zest of 1 medium sized lemon
- 1/2-1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2-1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Cook farro according to package directions. Place in a medium sized bowl.
- In a large bowl stir together arugula, cucumber, green onions, red onion, tomatoes, feta, dill, mint, parsley, and oregano. NOTE: If you plan on using salad for leftovers, stir arugula into individual salads before serving. The arugula with dressing does not save well.
