Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Farro Salad with Pecans, Feta, and Dried Cherries.
Step 1
To start your delicious farro salad, grab a small saucepan and combine water, farro, and a pinch of salt.
Step 2
Bring this mixture to a lively boil, then cover it up and lower the heat to let it simmer gently.
Step 3
In about 20 minutes, you’ll know it’s ready when the water is absorbed and the farro is tender.
Step 4
Once cooked, drain any excess water and spread the farro out on a baking sheet to cool for about five minutes—this helps it maintain a lovely texture.
Step 5
While the farro cools, take a large bowl and toss in some chopped celery, crumbled feta cheese, dried cherries, and chopped green onions.
Step 6
Add in toasted pecans for a delightful crunch, along with fresh lemon zest and a splash of lemon juice for brightness.
Step 7
Drizzle in some olive oil, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 8
Now, it’s time to bring it all together! Add the cooled farro to your vibrant bowl of ingredients and gently toss everything until it’s well combined and beautifully mixed.
Step 9
For an extra touch, serve your salad with lemon wedges on the side, allowing everyone to add a little extra zing to their plate.
Step 10
Enjoy this refreshing and hearty salad that’s perfect for any occasion!.
