A white bowl filled with farro salad with a fork on the side.

We love farro around here, with its slightly nutty texture and wholesome goodness. It keeps you full and satisfied a bit longer than rice, and I think farro is more versatile in recipes, like this delicious farro salad. One of my other favorites is my Farro with Vegetables.

You'll need these ingredients

cooked farro
garbanzo beans
arugula
assorted fresh herbs - I like basil, parsley, mint, rosemary
sun-dried tomatoes
golden raisins
olive oil

Quick tips

Farro salad is a great make ahead dish. You can keep it in the refrigerator for several days.
Not a freezer friendly recipe though. The fresh herbs would lose their punch and the texture would not be as good.
We love this farro salad when we go on vacation! It's a great packing salad for quick lunches.
I use canned garbanzo beans, but you could cook your own by following this tutorial.
