Description:

If you don't have pickled onions on hand, check out our recipe to make them here: https://www.ranchovignola.com/recipes-archive/pickled-onions

Only have raw walnuts on hand? Roast them in an oven pre-heated to 300°F for 20-30 minutes, check frequently after 20 minutes and remove when they start to turn golden brown, and you smell that toasted fragrance.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups Whole Grain Farro
  • 1 English Cucumber (about 3 cups, diced)
  • 1 large Bell Pepper (about 2 cups, diced)
  • ½ cup packed (or ½ bunch) Fresh Parsley, roughly chopped
  • ⅓ cup Pickled Onion, roughly chopped
  • ¾ cup Raisins
  • ¼ cup Olive Oil
  • Juice and Zest of ½ Lemon
  • 1 cup Walnuts, roasted, roughly chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: juice and zest of the remaining ½ lemon

Directions:

Makes 4 meal-sized servings.

Rinse the farro under cold water. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the farro and simmer for 35–45 minutes, or until tender but still chewy. Taste as it cooks—farro is forgiving, so it’s okay to go a little longer if you’re not sure if it’s done.

Once cooked, drain the farro and rinse it under cold water to cool it down. Transfer it to a large bowl and put it in the refrigerator to chill.

While the farro cools in the fridge, prep and chop the rest of the ingredients. To the chilled farro, add all remaining ingredients except the walnuts. Mix together until well combined. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Add more lemon if desired for brightness.

When serving the salad, top with the roasted walnuts.
