For those of you who aren’t familiar with farro, you’re in for a treat! But a word of advice, if you want to save money when purchasing this ancient grain from Italy, if possible, look for it in an Italian market rather than a specialty food shop.
For a different flavor, substitute packaged broccoli slaw for the cabbage.
Farro-Cabbage Salad
Serves 4
2 1/2 cups shredded cabbage (red or white)
2 cups cooked farro (cooked according to package directions)
3 scallions, sliced
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
3 tablespoons orange juice
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
In a large bowl, toss together the cabbage, farro, scallions, and parsley. In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, olive oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, cumin, chili powder, and turmeric. Pour the dressing on the salad, toss, season to taste with salt and serve.
