Ingredients
Method
Cooking the Farro
- In a medium saucepan, add the farro and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the farro is tender and chewy. Drain any excess water and let it cool.
Preparing the Dressing
- In a bowl, whisk together the tahini, maple syrup, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth. Adjust the seasoning according to taste.
Combining Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, add the cooled farro, sliced figs, crumbled feta cheese, chopped walnuts, and arugula or spinach.
Dressing the Salad
- Pour the maple tahini dressing over the salad mixture and toss everything together until well combined.
Final Adjustments
- Taste and adjust the seasoning one last time, adding more salt or lemon juice as needed.
Serving
- Enjoy your salad immediately or refrigerate it for meal prep throughout the week!
Notes
For substitutions, dried fruits like apricots or cranberries can add sweetness. Make the dressing in advance and store it separately to keep the salad fresh.
