Farro Salad with Peas, Asparagus, and Feta

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups semi-pearled farro
  • 12 ounces asparagus, trimmed, cut into 1 1/2-inch lengths
  • 1 8-ounce package sugar snap peas
  • 12 ounces grape tomatoes, halved

  • 6 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup Sherry wine vinegar

  • Market Tip:

    Farro is an ancient Tuscan grain with a mellow, nutty flavor. You'll find it in some supermarkets, specialty foods stores, and Italian markets.

Preparation

  • Cook farro in large saucepan of boiling salted water until just tender, about 10 minutes. Drain. Transfer to large bowl.
  • Meanwhile, cook asparagus and sugar snap peas in another saucepan of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain. Add to farro with tomatoes, onion, and dill. Whisk oil and vinegar in small bowl. Season dressing with salt and pepper. Add dressing and feta to salad; toss to coat and serve.
