Farro with Feta, Tomatoes, and Cucumbers

by Jennifer

Farro.  Have you heard of it?  I feel like it’s still somewhat obscure but mainstream enough that I’ve seen it on menus in recent years and you can buy it at many grocery stores.  It’s a whole grain.  It’s chewy and kind of nutty.  It goes with pretty much anything you can think of to mix with it.  I think it’s just downright wonderful.  It reminds me a bit of barley but seems somehow heartier.  If you haven’t ever had it, it’s worth a try.

For this version, I grabbed some inspiration from a feta salad I sampled at Whole Foods last week and the farro was a summery and lovely complement to the grilled salmon we also had for dinner.  I made a sizable batch so as to have leftovers for lunch the next day and they may have tasted even better after an overnight in the fridge.

Farro with Feta, Tomatoes, and Cucumbers

1 c. farro
1 1/2 c. cucumbers
2 c. grape tomatoes
3 scallions, chopped
2 tbsp. parsley, chopped
1 tbsp dill, chopped
1/2 c. sundried tomatoes in oil, chopped
6 oz, crumbled feta
1/4 c. olive oil

Cook the farro in boiling salted water according to package directions.  It was about 20-25 minutes cooking time for me.

Chop tomatoes and cucumbers and put in large bowl.

Add scallions, parsley, dill, sundried tomatoes, and feta.

Let farro cool a bit then add to other ingredients with the olive oil and stir to combine.  Season with salt and pepper.

Meet Jen

I'm a design and DIY lover, decorator, modern home-maker, foodie, fashion enthusiast, and jill-of-all-trades when it comes to home improvement. I'm slowly but surely adding classic-contemporary style to my early 90's colonial home one inch at a time and I'm taking you along for the ride.

It's often messy - there are usually project remnants and toys strewn about - but the making of a home isn't always tidy work and I love showing you how you can make and style and organize your way to a home and a life you love!
