This farro salad is savory, tangy, and briny. Chewy farro creates the perfect base for bold flavors from salami, banana peppers, and sun-dried tomatoes, while radicchio adds a delightful pop of color.
Ingredients
- 1 cup pearled or semi-pearled farro
- ¼ cup red-wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh garlic
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 2 cups cauliflower florets
- 2 cups chopped radicchio or red cabbage
- 6 ounces sliced hard salami, cut into strips (1 1/2 cups)
- 1 cup sliced red bell pepper
- 1 cup sliced celery
- ½ cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Directions
Step 1
Cook farro according to package directions, about 30 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool.

Whisk vinegar, oil, garlic, and honey in a large bowl.
Step 3
Bring 3/4 cup water to a simmer in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add cauliflower; cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until tender-crisp, about 3 minutes. Drain and transfer to the bowl with the vinaigrette.
