Ingredients
- 1 cup pearled farro grains
- 2 cups water
- 2 cups baby arugula
- 1 shallot
- 2 cups tomato medley
- 1 green bell pepper
- 1 english cucumber
- 2 tbsps cilantro
- 4 tbsps olive oil extra virgin
- 1 lime
- 0.5 cup kalamata olives
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Boil farro in water. Add a splash or olive oil and a pinch of salt to water. Let cook for 25 minutes. There will be almost no water at end of 25 minutes. If there is drain in a colander. Let cooked farro aside to cool down.
- Chop the shallot, add in a container with cold water. This will remove the strong smell.
- Dice the bell pepper. Peel and dice the cucumber too.
- Chop the cilantro and then squeeze the lime.
- Finally start assembling the salad in a salad bowl. There's no proper order to do this, you can just mix everything together.
- I add the arugula first then drained farro. Then I add the cucumbers, tomatoes, and bell peppers. Followed by olives, onions and cilantro. Finally I add olive oil and lime juice and lastly salt. Mix everything together and serve.
- I can serve this for dinner as a meal or as a side to a fish meal. That's a matter of preference. Enjoy:)
