Here’s a delicious salad using a whole grain that not only tastes good but is good for you! The flavors are refreshing and sweet while the crunchy nuts and farro give it wonderful texture!
Ingredients
Vinaigrette
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons white sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
Salad
- ¼ cup chopped walnuts
- 2 ½ cups chicken broth or vegetable broth
- 1 cup farro
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- 1 cup chopped tart green apple
- ¾ cup dried cherries
- 2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
Directions
Step 1
Whisk oil, maple syrup, vinegar, sugar, and salt together in a bowl until dressing is smooth.
Step 2
Cook and stir walnuts in a small skillet over low heat until toasted and fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes.
Step 3
Bring chicken broth, farro, oregano, and basil to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat, cover with a lid, and let sit until all the liquid has been absorbed, about 30 minutes. Transfer farro to a glass bowl and cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes more.
Step 4
Mix walnuts, green apples, dried cherries, and parsley into farro. Drizzle dressing over farro mixture and toss to coat; refrigerate until chilled, at least 30 minutes.
Cook’s Notes:
I have also substituted celery or jicama in place of the apple; it adds crunch and color but prefer the apple for taste.
