Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups of farro dry
  • 3 cups water
  • 1.5 fresh parsley finely chopped
  • 2 green onions chopped
  • 1/2 red onion diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes quartered
  • 1 cucumber peeled and diced

For the Dressing

  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 Lemon Juiced
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper

Instructions
 

  • For the farro: In a medium pot add the farro and water, and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 30 minutes until faro has absorbed all the water. 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, red onion, green onion, tomatoes, and cucumber.
  • For the dressing- in a small mason jar combine the olive oil, garlic, 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.
