Ingredients

1 cup dry farro
kosher salt
2 cups baby arugula
1 cup cherry tomatoes, (halved)
2 green onions, (trimmed and chopped)
1 bell pepper (any color), (cored and chopped)
¾ cup walnut halves/pieces
½ cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
¼ cup chopped fresh dill
Feta cheese, (to your liking)
5 tablespoons Homemade Greek salad dressing,

Steps:

Cook the farro. Bring 3 cups of water, seasoned with kosher salt, to a boil. Add the farro and lower the heat to medium. Simmer for 20 to 40 minutes, depending on the kind of farro you are using. The farro will have absorbed the water but use a sieve to fully drain. If you like, spread the farro on a tray or sheet pan and pat dry with a paper towel.
Make the dressing using this Greek salad dressing recipe.
Toss the salad together. In a mixing bowl, combine the farro (still somewhat warm) with the arugula, tomatoes, onions, peppers, walnuts, and fresh herbs. Pour the salad dressing, then toss well. Taste and adjust seasoning. Finish with a sprinkle of feta cheese to your liking.

JARJEER (ARUGULA) SALAD

Jarjeer (Arugula) Salad image

A traditional Middle Eastern salad served all the way to Sudan. It's simple and DH likes it a lot since he likes mushrooms. Modified from a recipe found on allrecipes.com posted by IMANKAY. Note: Sumac is available as a ground spice in Middle Eastern markets, it comes from the dried berries of a shrub that grows wild in Mediterranean. The taste is sour, fruity and astringent.
