Step 1

Combine farro with 3 cups water in a medium saucepan. Bring to the boil, then lower heat and simmer until farro is tender, about 20-30 minutes. Drain well and transfer to a large bowl to cool.

While farro is cooking, cook the broad beans and peas in a pot of boiling water for 3 minutes, then drain and refresh under cold water.

Once farro has cooled, add broad beans, peas, mint, parsley, radishes, and rocket and toss gently to combine.

Step 4

To prepare the dressing, combine olive oil and lemon juice in a small bowl. Pour dressing over salad and toss to combine.

Step 5

Sprinkle fetta over salad before serving.

Tip

  • Farro can be substituted for lentils, barley, brown rice or quinoa. See packet for cooking instructions.
