This simple recipe for Greek grain salad adds the nutty flavor of farro to the rich flavors of Greek salad for a satisfying main or side dish!  Perfect with fish, steak, chicken, or all on its own.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup farro
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, cut in half
  • 1 small cucumber, peeled and diced
  • 1 tablespoon capers
  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • Juice from one lemon
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Cook your farro according to package directions.  When it is done, either let it cool on its own, or rinse it under cool water so it is not steaming hot.
  2. Place farro, tomatoes, cucumber, capers and feta cheese in a bowl and mix gently to combine.
  3. Combine all remaining ingredients and drizzle over salad, tasting as you go, until the salad has the right amount of dressing.  And serve it up!

Notes

    • Farro: We love this hearty, nutty grain for this salad and you can find it near the rice in your supermarket, but you can also use brown rice or barley if you prefer.

    • Feta Cheese: This salty goat’s milk cheese is usually in the specialty cheese section of your supermarket. We recommend the block of feta (not the crumbles, which can be dry).

    • Capers: These little green buds are in a briny, salty liquid and taste like teeny pickles. Look for them in the condiments aisle.
