Einkorn Salad with Spring Greens and Herbs

Einkorn Salad with Spring Greens and Herbs

Serves 6
We love the nutty chewiness that cooked einkorn, an ancient grain which is a type of farro, adds to this salad of fresh spring greens and herbs.

Ingredients

SALAD

  • 1/2 cup dry einkorn or farro (cooked according to package directions and cooled)
  • 2 cups arugula
  • 1 small red onion (finely chopped)
  • 1 English cucumber (cut into 3/4-inch cubes)
  • 3 radishes (thinly sliced)
  • 1/2 bunch flat-leaf parsley (leaves picked and chopped)
  • 2 sprigs fresh mint (leaves picked and chopped)

DRESSING

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt (plus more to taste)
  • Pepper (to taste)
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine salad ingredients.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk lemon juice with salt and pepper. Slowly drizzle in olive oil while constantly whisking.

Cook Tips

Einkorn or farro takes 30 to 60 minutes to cook. You can shorten the cooking time by soaking it for an hour first. Drain and cook, as directed, for approximately half the time, until grains are soft and chewy.
