New Recipe - farro salad

[Deborah]

I tried something new this morning that turned out really good so I thought I'd share it.  I had it for breakfast but it would be really good at lunch or supper.  It's part of my quest to eat nothing processed.

1/4 cup dried farro boiled for 20 min.  I spiced it with salt, pepper, and Italian spices

In a bowl mix
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped tomato (I used six cherry tomatoes sliced in half
2 green onions chopped
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Drain the cooked farro and add it to the rest.  Then enjoy.

I'd never heard of farro before I saw it in the store yesterday.  It's a pre-modern species of wheat that in this form is not processed at all.  The grains of wheat are cooked whole.  Cooked for 20 min it has a somewhat chewy texture.

I haven't heard of farro (is it like kasha?), but I do like whole grains, and the salad sounds tasty.

I'd never heard of kasha so I looked it up.  It looks similar but it's a different wheat species.  So the taste may be different.
