Product Used
Directions
- Whisk together the vinaigrette ingredients, taste and season. Set aside.
- Build a bowl: place the farro in the bowl, then top with tuna, halved tomatoes, cucumbers, salad greens, egg, and cilantro. Repeat for the other bowl.
- Give the vinaigrette a whisk, then pour on to the bowl to taste.
- Notes: To cook farro, bring a large pot of salted water to a rapid boil. Add 1 cup of farro and cook at a simmer until tender or to your liking, about 20-30 minutes. Drain off excess water. Makes about 2 ½ cups cooked.
Tips and Tricks
Toast the uncooked farro before cooking to increase its nuttiness. Toast dry farro in a pot, stirring, for 2-3 minutes, or until it smells nutty and toasty. Proceed to cook as above.
For those watching their salt intake, use Ocean’s Chunk Light Tuna low sodium and season with your favourite herbs instead.
