Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • For the salad: 1 cup farro
  • 1 cup of baby arugula
  • 2 cups strawberries, hulled and quartered
  • 2 nectarines (white or yellow), chopped into chunks and/or slices
  • ½ cup of cubed or crumbled feta
  • For the dressing: 1 cup of strawberries
  • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • Freshly ground salt & pepper
Instructions
  1. In a large pot, heat 4 quarts (16 cups) of water and a tablespoon of salt to boiling.
  2. Add 1 cup of farro, reduce heat to simmer, and cook until tender (about 20 minutes).
  3. While the farro is cooking, create the vinaigrette. In a blender, combine the 1 cup of strawberries with the balsamic vinegar. Pour the mixture into a small bowl and drizzle ½ cup of olive oil while whisking. Season with freshly ground salt and pepper.
  4. Once the farro has cooled, add the arugula and about ¼ cup of the vinaigrette at a time and taste as you go. Everyone has a different preference to the amount of dressing they like. I usually put a total of ½ cup for this recipe. Toss the farro and arugula with the dressing.
  5. Add the strawberries, nectarines, and feta. Gently toss and it's ready to serve!
