ingredients
1 Cup of Farro
1 ½ Cups of Water
1 Tsp. Kosher Salt
2 Tbsp. Lemon juice
1 Tbsp. Olive Oil
2 Tbsp. of juice from the can of mandarin oranges OR fresh squeezed mandarin juice from the fruit
1/8 Tsp. Cardamom
1 ½ Cups of canned mandarins in juice OR
fresh mandarin orange segments
1 Cup Pomegranate Seeds
½ Cup Chopped Mint leaves
¼ Cup Chopped, toasted pistachio nuts
DIRECTIONS
Farro
1. Cook Farro in water on stovetop. Start with cool water and bring to a boil. Then cover and reduce heat to medium low and cook until liquid is absorbed. (15-20 mins)
Salad
2. Mix Olive Oil, juices and seasonings in a small bowl. Pour over warm farro and stir to coat. Add all the ingredients and mix. Serve at room temperature or chill and serve cold.
NOTES: While using fresh mandarin oranges is ideal, canned will work just fine (so will fresh clementine which are often easier to find at the supermarket). This also makes a great side dish for any protein.
