Author Notes

This farro and chickpea salad takes me back to the week we spent in Tuscany, shopping daily, dining alfresco, and sipping pinot grigio under a pergola. It's the perfect complement to an antipasti platter. It's meant to go along with a lot of little nibbles, double the recipe to serve it as a side dish. —dailywaffle

We added cured meat and more feta, then substituted the farro with Barley. It was good at room temp. We didn't eat seconds, because it was very filling with the high protein.

08/05/17 I subbed finely sliced and chopped red onion for the scallions and added celery leaves along with chopped celery. Served alongside Paula Roden's cold chicken sofrito. This is a good combo for a hot summer evening. Ate the leftover farro salad for breakfast.
