Farro tabbouli is a fantastic refreshing salad made with parsley, tomatoes, whole grains, and a sweet lemon vinaigrette. Great to make ahead or meal prep!
I love making this salad when I have extra parsley around- Its so nice and light and packed with protein from the farro and chickpeas. The vinaigrette is simple and gives it a great flavor to balance out the green and regular onion.
I’m a huge fan of farro salads, so transforming this into a bit of a non-traditional tabbouli was perfect. And its hearty enough that it can be the main dish, not just a side!

How Do I Make This Tabbouli?

Turn off heat and let the farro sit for an additional 5 minutes. Drain (if there is any water left) and let the farro chill in the fridge for 30 minutes before adding to salad.
- In a large bowl add the parsley, onion, green onion, tomatoes, cucumber and chickpeas.
- For the dressing- in a small mason jar combine the olive oil, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, salt and pepper. Cover the jar and shake well to combine.
- Once farro has cooled add it to the bowl with parsley mixture. Shake dressing and pour over the farro, stir to combine.
- Serve immediately, or save in individual mason jar servings for later in the week.
