This deliciously hearty and nutty farro salad is grain-based – so it can fill you up and fuel you throughout the day.

We love serving this salad withpork tenderloin, air fried steaks, smoked ribs or brisket, salmon, and even vegetarian dishes like our vegan stuffed peppers or cauliflower steaks with red pepper sauce – it is so full of flavor, even though it is a really simple and uncomplicated dish.

This farro salad is a go-to for group gatherings and BBQs because it is incredibly budget friendly, and easy to serve.

We hope you love this recipe as much as we do!

At Ajpal, I add lots of tips in all of my recipes – because I am a home cook without any formal training, and I find I am more confident making dishes when I understand why it works, and what each ingredient means to the flavor of a recipe. My goal is for even the most beginner home cook to feel empowered in the kitchen.

How To Cook Farro

How you cook farro depends on the type of farro you find – pearled farro is most common in America and requires a shorter cooking time of about 10-15 minutes to boil until soft.

Since farro is incredibly different to prepare depending on the type, please go off package directions to prepare your farro.

It will be anywhere from 10-30 minutes of boiling, and some need to soak before cooking (similar to dried beans).

Once your farro is cooked, drain well and add to salad!

Tips and Tricks for the Best Farro Salad With Burrata

Is farro gluten free? Farro is an ancient grain that does contain gluten, and is NOT appropriate for anyone with Celiac or avoiding gluten. However, if you do eat gluten and are looking for a healthy option to incorporate more whole grains into your diet, it is a great pick! Farro has a high plant based protein, making it a healthy grain choice to fill you up and power you through your day.

Other vegetables to add. We love this salad with simple ingredients – shallots, cucumber, tomatoes, and basil – but you can add plenty of vegetables in to this simple salad based on what you love! We recommend lightly sautéing or roasting vegetables before adding to this dish, but if you love the flavor of fresh veggies, that’s great too. We designed this recipe to work to your on tastes!
