Recipe Notes
I mentioned that the farro salad most commonly included four main component ingredients which can include sliced cucumbers, tomatoes (such as cherry or grape tomatoes), peppers, and crumbled Feta cheese.
Also, I mentioned that this salad can be personalized as well. Also, I mentioned that this recipe calls for a Mediterranean dressing made with olive oil and vinegar. I am suggesting amounts of these ingredients that would work in this recipe.
However, feel free to adjust these ingredients to suit your needs and complement the other ingredients added to your salad.
