Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Vegan farro salad with a creamy cashew dill yogurt dressing is a refreshing and comforting salad. This salad is easy, satisfying, and will keep well for 2 to 3 days in the fridge. 

What is farro?

Farro, pronounced “fah-roh,” is an ancient whole grain wheat with a similar appearance to barely. It’s loved for its chewy, nutty, and earthy taste. Farro is a great source of fiber, protein, iron, and antioxidants.

How to make:

  1. Rinse the farro and add to a medium saucepan. Add enough water to cover the farro. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 20-25 until the farro is tender.
  2. Chop the cucumber into 4 sections, then quarter and slice out the seeds. Rinse cucumbers and drain well. In the colander use a pinch of salt or two and let sit for 20 minutes, then pat dry with a towel. This will draw the liquid out of the cucumbers.
  3. In a medium bowl, add the yogurt, lemon juice, salt, peppper, garlic powder, and dill. Whisk to combine.
  4. Add all ingredients to a large bowl and serve. Tastes best when refrigerated for a few hours.
