Farro Salad with Artichoke Hearts
I apologize for the posting drought recently. I had to take a little break and I am back refreshed and cooking up a storm! I had a wonderful opportunity to get away for the weekend and experience a lot of new things, including some yummy new foods. Like any restful break, I am feeling energized and inspired to create some new things.
This recipe came together at the suggestion of Craig, who thought farro would work really well with artichoke hearts. So, using his great suggestion, I put together this quick salad that is simple, quick and stores well. A big batch of this yielded some delicious leftovers! Serve this warm or cold as a side dish or main course.

What drought? Didn't I just see that fabulous quinoa on Top 9? This farro is equally delicious-looking. We are fans of canned artichoke, will definitely make this one.

This looks so simple yet so beautiful. I love artichokes, and this seems like a perfect application for farro.
I've never tried farro but this salad looks delicious! And I love artichoke hearts. I might have to make this on a weekend to have on hand for lunches during the week. Yum!
This salad looks totally awesome! Farro is such a diverse ingredient :D

Must be delicious! Now,if only I could find farro.... Where do you buy it?
I have a jar of artichoke hearts in seasoned oil. I can't wait to try them with farro in this salad.
I love Farro but I have not cooked with it yet. I am bookmarking to make soon!!
I love the texture that farro brings to salads. I haven't tried any with artichokes - great idea!
Mmm this sounds delicious - pair anything up with artichokes and I'm a happy camper! But I agree that farro & artichokes definitely make a good match! Great recipe!

I have never tasted Farro but I do love artichoke heats. Salads are my favorite hot weather food. I need to give this recipe a try. Thanks for a great post:) Congratulations on Foodbuzz Top 9.
So did you tell Craig he's a genius. This is wonderful.
Thank you! Maybe it just feels like a drought because I've been cooking less overall. Thank you for stopping by!
Of course I didn't tell him. We don't want him getting ideas. :)
Wow, wow, wow, I have never tried Farro before but this recipe sounds divine!!
