Time 45m

Yield 4 side-dish servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

10 ounces farro (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus 1/2 teaspoon
8 ounces green beans, cut into 1- to 2-inch pieces (about 2 cups)
1/2 cup pitted black olives
1 medium red pepper, cut into thin strips (about 4 ounces or 1 cup)
3 ounces Parmesan, crumbled (about 3/4 cup)
1 small bunch chives, snipped (about 1/4 cup)
1/4 cup sherry vinegar
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, combine 4 cups of water with the farro. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat until the farro is almost tender, about 20 minutes. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons of the salt and simmer until the farro is tender, about 10 minutes longer. Drain well. Transfer to a large bowl and let cool.
  • Meanwhile, bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the green beans and stir. Cook for 2 minutes. Transfer the cooked green beans to a bowl of ice water and let cool for 2 minutes. Drain the green beans.
  • Once the farro has cooled add the green beans, olives, red pepper, Parmesan, and chives. Stir to combine. In a small bowl mix together the sherry vinegar, olive oil, mustard, pepper, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir to combine. Pour the sherry vinaigrette over the farro salad. Toss to combine and serve.

This salad is a great make-ahead dish. I made it the night before and it was even better the next day. The flavors had time to meld and the salad was even more flavorful.

I'm not usually a fan of farro, but this salad changed my mind. The farro was perfectly cooked and had a nice nutty flavor. The vegetables were roasted to perfection and the dressing was light and flavorful.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover roasted vegetables. I had some leftover roasted zucchini and bell peppers that I needed to use up, and this salad was the perfect solution. It came together in no time and was a delicious and healthy lunch

I'm not a big fan of feta cheese, but I loved it in this salad. The feta cheese added a nice salty and tangy flavor to the salad. It was the perfect complement to the roasted vegetables and fresh herbs.
