Recipe Notes

• I liked to employ dried packaged sundried tomatoes instead of oil packed, as I find the salad has enough oil with the dressing.  Supposing you prefer sundried tomatoes in olive oil, you’ll swap them here. To rehydrate (you may either may not must to do this; supposing the sundried tomatoes seem moist and plump, you’ll skip this step): Place in a small bowl and overlay with boiling water. allow rest a several mins, then drain and employ as directed.

• Keep leftovers within the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Supposing you won’t be eating all the salad right away, I advised reserving some of the dressing to moisten and revive the leftovers. Supposing you do employ all of it, you’ll also brighten the leftovers up with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.

• To prepare vegan: Omit the feta cheese; replace the honey within the dressing with light agave either simple syrup.

• To prepare gluten free: Replace the farro (which is not gluten free) with a different grain such as quinoa either brown rice.
