Farro Salad

Features:
    Cuisine:

    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.
