I feel like when I post healthier recipes on this app, they never perform very well. But this one is actually so surprisingly delicious. And ironically, this recipe came from me being too lazy to want to walk to the grocery store. So instead, I was like, “Okay, I’m just going to dig through my pantry in my fridge, see what I can find, and use my creativity and make something out of that.” So, this is a farro salad with chickpeas and mint and grier cheese, and it is just so flavorful and delicious. I started by just quick pickling some red onions and some vinegar. Then, I got the farro cooking in a broth. And if you don’t know what farro is, it’s a grain. It’s sort of like brown rice and kind of chewy and a little bit healthier. While that was cooking, I toasted some pine nuts and some salted butter and then added chickpeas and garlic powder and paprika. And I tossed the pharaoh in this really simple lemon dressing with a little bit of dijon mustard, some olive oil, honey, and Aleppo pepper. And then I like to toss the pharaoh in the dressing while it’s still warm because it helps absorb the dressing and become so flavorful. And you could definitely serve the salad warm, but I think it works a little bit better chilled. So once safaro, pine nuts, and chickpeas have cooled down a bit, I add some gruier cheese that I just shaved. I also mix in some sliced mini cucumbers, some pickled red onions, and some fresh mint leaves, and just toss that all together. And this is so delicious to eat immediately or to store in the fridge and eat throughout the week. And the full recipe is on my Subtock. I’m kind of surprised at how good that
