Farro and Salmon Salad

We’re big on main course salads in our family. They’re usually easy, unfussy and filling. I also like that I can make them in advance.

I’ve made  numerous versions of this particular salad: I love farro but have also used barley, couscous and wheatberries. I change up the cheese, depending on what I have, and use red onions or shallots if I need my scallions for something else.

Of course I have also made this all-veggie or no-meat, replacing the salmon (or any other cooked fish) with cooked eggs, carrots, peas and zucchini.

This is such a versatile dish! Best served at room temperature.

Salmon and Farro Salad

12 ounces fresh salmon*

olive oil or vegetable oil

1 cup farro

2-1/2 cups water

1 ripe avocado, cut into bite size pieces

3/4 cup crumbled feta, goat or blue cheese

2-3 scallions, chopped

1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano

1 teaspoon chopped fresh mint

1/4 cup vegetable oil

2 tablespoons lemon juice

2 tablespoons white wine vinegar

salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Preheat a grill, broiler or grill pan. Brush the salmon with a film of vegetable oil and grill, broil or pan-broil for about 4 minutes per side or until cooked to desired consistency. Remove the fish from to a cutting board, cut into chunks and set aside to cool slightly. While the salmon is cooking, place the farro in a saucepan and cover with the water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat, cover the pan and simmer for about 25 minutes or until the grain is cooked but still slightly chewy. Drain any remaining liquid. Place the cooked farro into a mixing bowl. Add the fish, avocado, cheese, scallions, oregano and mint. Toss gently to distribute the ingredients evenly. In a small bowl mix the vegetable oil, lemon juice and white wine vinegar. Pour over the ingredients and toss. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Let rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.

*you can use drained, canned salmon

 Makes 4 servings

For dinner, I almost always have a family-size salad all to myself. Last night I had mixed greens, tomatoes, half an avocado, banana (yes), cucumber, and some raw cheese made from cauliflower, brazil nuts, sunflower seeds, lemon juice, and garlic. I normally don't add sweet fruit to my salads because I like to follow proper food-combining guidelines. However, bananas taste really delicious with raw vegan cheeses. 🤤🍌 🥑🍅🥒🥗 #salad #saladporn #rawvegandinner #dinnersalad #veganfoodshare (at Bedford–Stuyvesant, Brooklyn)
