This healthful vegetarian dish would be perfect for a picnic. To speed prep time, use trimmed sugar snap peas with the strings removed (find them in the produce section of many supermarkets). Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups semi-pearled farro |
12 ounces asparagus, trimmed, cut into 1 1/2-inch lengths |
1 8-ounce package sugar snap peas |
12 ounces grape tomatoes, halved |
1/2 cup chopped red onion |
6 tablespoons chopped fresh dill |
1/2 cup olive oil |
1/4 cup sherry wine vinegar |
1 7-ounce package feta cheese, crumbled |
Directions:
1. Cook farro in large saucepan of boiling salted water until just tender, about 10 minutes. Drain. Transfer to large bowl.
2. Meanwhile, cook asparagus and sugar snap peas in another saucepan of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain. Add to farro with tomatoes, onion, and dill. Whisk oil and vinegar in small bowl. Season dressing with salt and pepper. Add dressing and feta to salad; toss to coat and serve.
3. Market tip: Farro is an ancient Tuscan grain with a mellow, nutty flavor. You'll find it in some supermarkets, specialty foods stores, and Italian markets.
