Directions
Farro Salad, This refreshingly sweet salad is a tasty culinary delight Yes you can use barley in place of the farro But try to get it It is so chewy and yummy!, Very good, easy to throw together with leftover cooked farro and fridge/pantry contents, but I feel the instructions need some refinements to fit the usual standards for those who are newcomers to cooking with recipes There are more newbies every day, and they can get nervous if instructions are not precise, unlike us older hands Please instruct to thaw and drain the frozen peas, they will water down the finished dish otherwise Also, minced means chopped into EXTREMELY tiny pieces, equivalent to grinding I feel diced would have been more useful for the description of cutting the cucumber Mincing it would essentially puree it, as it is so watery And was shredded cheese actually what was meant? Shaved might give it a better presence, as shredded cheese gets wet and lost in the mixture That being said, used quartered super-sweet grape tomatoes and omitted the sun-dried ones Having no fig balsamic, used regular balsamic, although some slivers of dried fig in lieu of the dried tomatoes sounds like a good potential addition, too Scallions instead of regular onion No basil on hand, so parsley worked well to add a fresh green herbal note along with the scallions No big changes, they get annoying A nice recipe, and for those who have not tried farro, this recipe might be your gateway drug to the grain! It’s delicious and useful , Have made this salad several times now and it is the one everyone asks me to make for dinners and events now In a pinch I have used the Kraft Fig Balsamic Salad dressing when I could not find the fig balsamic vinegar and it was equally as good
