Farro Salad With Tomatoes, Cucumber, Mint And Feta
- 2 cups tomatoes diced
- 2 cups cucumber diced
- 2 cups farro cooked and cooled
- 1 lemon zested and juiced
- 2 tablespoons parsley minced
- 2 tablespoons mint minced
- 3 ounces feta cheese crumbled
- extra-virgin olive oil to taste
- salt
- pepper
- Combine tomatoes, cucumber, farro, lemon zest and juice, parsley, mint and feta in a large bowl. Mix well.
- Add olive oil, salt and pepper to taste.
- ...then use your finger to scoop out the seeds and toss them.
- After peeling a large cucumber, cut it in half lengthwise, then use a spoon to scoop out the seeds (also trash those).
- Dice up the tomatoes and cucumbers...
- ...and grab a good handful each of parsley and mint.
- Mince the herbs nice and fine with a good chef's knife......and zest and juice a lemon.
- Crumble or cut into a small dice a nice wedge of feta cheese.
- Farro takes awhile to cook, so the last time I made a huge batch of it and froze it in 2 cup containers in the fridge. Mix everything together in a large bowl and toss to combine.
- Finish your dish off with a high quality extra virgin olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. I may have mentioned before that I belong to the Olive Oil of the Month club, so I get artisinal oil from Italy shipped to me each month - can't beat it!
