Ingredients for Farro Salad
For this recipe you will need:
- Farro
- Grape or cherry tomatoes
- Cucumber: I use English/hothouse cucumber because they are more flavorful. However regular seedless garden cucumbers work too.
- Red bell pepper
- Red onion
- Fresh parsley
- Red wine vinegar
- Fresh lemon juice
- Garlic
- Dried oregano
Kalamata olives, vegan feta crumbles, and garbanzo beans are also great additions.

Greek Farro Salad
Ingredients
- 1 cup farro (uncooked)
- 6-8 oz. grape tomatoes
- 1 English cucumber
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1/2 small red onion (sub shallot or green onion for milder flavor)
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley
- Optional: olives, garbanzo beans, vegan feta crumbles
For the oil-free tangy Greek dressing:
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 2-3 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 tsp. dried oregano
- 1/8 tsp. salt (more to taste)
Instructions
- Cook farro: rinse well and add to a small pot with 2 cups water. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to med-low and simmer for 25 minutes or until desired tenderness. Drain.
- Meanwhile, make the dressing: mince garlic and combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Halve tomatoes, finely dice red onion, and dice cucumber and bell pepper. Roughly chop parsley. Place in a large bowl.
- Add drained farro, dressing, and stir to combine.
- Serve immediately or chill covered in the fridge for an hour to further combine. (Stir before serving as some dressing will settle at the bottom.)
