Home > Springtime Mediterranean Salad with Radishes, Chickpeas & Farro

  1. In a small pot, combine the farro with 1 cup water and bring to a boil. Once the water is boiling, reduce heat to a simmer and cook, covered, for about 25-45 minutes (according to package instructions). 
  2. Once farro reaches desired texture, remove from heat and pour off any excess liquid. 
  3. In a medium or large bowl, combine the spinach, farro, radishes, chickpeas, and parsley. 
  4. To make the dressing, combine the juice of 1 large lemon with 1 teaspoon of lemon zest in a separate, small bowl. Then add the tahini and water and mix well. 
  5. Drizzle the dressing over the salad, and toss until well combined.
