Ingredients

  • Mixed greens
  • 1 cup uncooked farro
  • 2 cups water or broth
  • Kalamata olives
  • Cucumber
  • Grape tomatoes
  • 1 can chickpeas
  • olive oil, salt, pepper to taste
  • Red onion
  • Feta cheese
  • 1 packet garlic Good Seasons dressing
  • Red wine vinegar
  • Olive oil

Instructions

  • Drain and rinse chickpeas and place on paper towel to dry thoroughly
  • Optional: roast in the oven on 425 with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any other spices of your choice! Roast for about 20 minutes. Tip: put the pan in the oven while preheating and then pour the seasoned chickpeas onto the hot pan so they immediately start toasting.
  • While those are drying/roasting, cook the farro. I used bone broth to add more flavor. Follow directions for cooking on the box/bag as this can vary depending on what type of farro you're using.
  • Chop the rest of your toppings. I use tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, kalamata olives and feta cheese. You can add whatever you like! I also like chopping extra so that I have them ready for the next few days of salads and eat it all week long.
  • For the dressing, the good seasons packets are mixed with vinegar, water and oil. I use red wine vinegar when I'm making a greek style dressing. You can skip the seasoning and just add your own preferred spices like oregano, lemon, salt, and pepper. The packets are a quick fix that I keep in my pantry and they taste very good without too many excess ingredients that I try to avoid in bottled dressing.
  • Combine all ingredients for a delicious, salty salad with great texture!
  • You will have enough for a few decent sized salads, but amounts can be varied or stored in the fridge easily. Enjoy!
