How to Prepare Lemon-Ginger Farro Salad With Pomegranate and Pistachios [Vegan]
- In a large saucepan over high heat, add the farro to 6 cups of cold (salted) water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer according to package directions or until tender. (Note: Time will vary.) Drain well of excess liquid through a fine mesh strainer.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and zest, olive oil, and ginger. Add the cooked farro and white part of the scallions; stir to combine. Set aside to cool for about 30 minutes. Stir, then chill in the refrigerator until cool.
- To the chilled farro, stir in the cucumber, mint, green part of the scallions, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Transfer to salad bowls or plates, sprinkle with the pistachios and pomegranate arils and serve. (Hint: If you prefer a more comforting version, you can also sprinkle on some cashew cheese).
