What’s better than a salad during these hot summer months? Even better, it’s full of antioxidants. My newfound passion is cherries in salad. It’s so refreshing and pairs so well with farro, enjoy it while it’s still in season 🍒
Ingredients
- 5 ounce Arugula
- 1/2 cup farro cooked
- 1/4 cup walnuts
- 4 dates chopped
- Hand full cherries
- 2 Persian cucumber
- Red onions chopped
- Black cherry balsamic + olive oil + salt & black pepper
- 1/2 avocado + Romano cheese ( optional )
Instructions
- If you’ve never tried farro your in for a treat, it very much resembles wheat 🌾 in all it’s wholesomeness super delicious in salads and easy on the tum tum ☺️ Also great in soups and gratin.
- Start by cooking 1/2 cup of farro according to package and let it cool. As for 1/4 cup of walnuts soak them for 20 minutes, change the water twice and chop. Cut the cherries in half removing the stone, assemble the salad the way you like. The dressing is very simple if you can find black cherry balsamic vinegar that would be great otherwise stick to regular balsamic vinegar, some olive oil, salt and black pepper.
