Just right for the summer. I must watch my intake of vit. K this summer. This salad is perfect for a lunch or side with grilled meats.

This salad was really good! The farro has a slightly crunchy texture to it, which made the dish really interesting. I used kalamata olives and substituted red wine vinegar for the sherry vinegar since I did not have any in my pantry.

I used crumbled parmesan as Giada suggested, but next time I may do feta intstead!

We're always searching for recipes that are healthy AND tasty.
This recipe is in one of our cooking books.

We did not add olives but everything else was kept the same.

It was really delicious. My husband especially liked it.
It's easy to overcook the farro though so constantly check up on it.

I just got done making this and it is delicious! What a healthy and satisfying dish. I took the advise of one of the other reviewers and used feta and red wine vinegar. Other than that, I didn't change a thing. My 3 year old son loved it too! Thanks Giada :o

We make a batch of this farro salad every couple weeks and vary the type of vinegar, cheese and vegetables to keeep it interesting. A one cup serving is a ridiculously delicious way to get 7 grams or so of fiber.

If you can't find farro in your local stores, it's readily available online from Amazon and others. Be sure to get "farro perlato" (sometimes labelled "semi-pearled". If you accidentally buy whole farro just saok it in cold water for half an hour before cooking it.

For extra zing, substitute sheep's milk feta for the parmesan (but leave out that last 1/2 tsp. of salt and red wine vinegar for the sherry vinegar.

All I can say is YUM! This was my 1st time cooking this hearty and nutty flavor grain and it was so simple. Trying to find recipes that are delicious and nutritious is my goal, and this one I'm adding to my list. This salad is packed with flavors, high in protein and fiber, and adding red onions to this salad, just gave it more flavor. Please take time today and prepare a healthy salad for friends and family, they will love you for it. Oh yeah, the dressing was quick and a delicious add-on to the salad.
