this salad was truly perfect !

It is light, yet filling, cool & crunchy, and sweet & tangy! It is a dish you will be making on repeat until the fall leaves make an appearance.

Ingredients:

For salad-
– 1.5 cups uncooked farro
– 10 strawberries, diced
– 1 cucumbers, diced
– 1/4 red onion, minced
– 1/4 cup toasted almonds
– feta for topping
– fresh mint for topping
-salt to taste

For strawberry vinaigrette-
– 5 strawberries, diced
– 1/4 cup olive oil
– 2 tbsp. honey
– 1.5 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
– 1/4 tsp. salt

Directions:

Begin by cooking your farro according to package instructions. Allow it to cool fully once cooked before assembling salad.

Meanwhile, make your vinaigrette by combining your strawberries, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey and salt in a medium bowl. Using an immersion blender, blend slowly until fully smooth. Set in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Then in a large bowl, add in farro as the base followed by diced strawberries, cucumber, red onion, almonds and feta. Add your dressing overtop (use as little or as much as you desire). Top with fresh mint and enjoy immediately!
