Description

This Farro Salad with Za’atar and Broccoli is an unique salad that is perfect to eat as a full meal or as a side dish.My life has been lacking in za’atar consumption since I found out my little man N is allergic to sesame. However, I occasionally and very carefully sneak this flavorful spice mixture into my life (but not his, of course!). If you’re unfamiliar with za’atar, it’s a blend of seasonings that has a ton of flavor and is super versatile. It’s most commonly used in Middle Eastern cuisine and has a great mix of herbs, spices and of course sesame to give it that nutty flavor. There’s also sumac in it which lends a beautifully tart flavor. It’s perfect for this salad.This farro salad recipe is actually one of my mom’s creations! She’s a genius in the kitchen and I attribute my love of cooking to her alone. I had the pleasure of eating and photographing this salad when my parents came to visit us recently. The salad is the perfect combination of tangy, chewy, and crunchy. It has a bright and fresh flavor and is perfect for summer. It’s really filling thanks to the farro, beans and feta. That makes it perfect for a lunch or dinner on its own. But it will also be the perfect addition to other meals as a flavorful side dish.Farro + Za’atar + Broccoli = a smart move. #RachelCooksClick To TweetFarro has become my go-to grain for salads because of its size and chewiness.
