60 minutes
Farro with apple and celery reflects the Italian love for simple yet flavorful dishes. Farro, an ancient grain, gives the salad a pleasant nutty texture, while the apple adds gentle sweetness and refreshing crunch. Celery and red onion enhance the dish's freshness, while tangy olives and aromatic pecorino cheese add an Italian flair. Dressed with apple cider vinegar and olive oil, this salad is perfect as a light lunch or an elegant side to main courses. It reveals the richness of Mediterranean flavors and pairs wonderfully with white wine, creating a cozy atmosphere to enjoy traditional cuisine.
