Ingredients
- 1 cup farro cooked according to package instructions and cooled
- 5 oz baby arugula 1/2 a 10oz container
- 1 oz fresh basil leaves, roughly chopped 1 large handful
- 2 nectarines or peaches, sliced
- 3 oz fresh blackberries that's 1/2 of a standard 6oz container
- 4 oz mozzarella pearls
- 2-3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2-3 tablespoons peach white balsamic vinegar see notes for substitutions
- kosher salt and black pepper
Instructions
- Place cooked farro in a large salad bowl. It should be well drained, and cool.
- Add arugula and basil, and lightly toss together.
- Add peaches, blackberries and mozzarella to salad.
- Drizzle on olive oil and peach balsamic (or another dressing, if using). I like to start with about 2 tablespoons of each.
- Sprinkle on a little kosher salt and a few cracks of black pepper and then gently toss salad together
- Taste your salad and then add more seasoning or balsamic or oil to taste.
Notes
Ingredients are listed in weights because you'll notice arugula, blackberries, and mozzarella are exactly 1/2 of their standard containers. This makes it easy to make twice, or double for a large salad!
Dressing Notes
I purchase Peach White Balsamic online. This one from Baker and Olive is great (I have an affiliate discount code there: ourbestbites) and I also love this one from Amazon.
If you'd like to whip up a homemade dressing instead, I think all of these would be a lovely pairing:
Honey Basil Vinaigrette
Honey Lemon Vinaigrette
Smoked Paprika Vinaigrette
