Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Cook the farro according to the package directions, typically by simmering in salted water until tender, about 10-15 minutes for quick-cooking farro. Drain any excess water and set aside.
-
Step 2.
While the farro cooks, in a medium bowl, whisk together 1½ tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, ½ clove pressed garlic, ¼ teaspoon ground cumin, ¼ teaspoon ground coriander, ⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes, and ¼ teaspoon each kosher salt and black pepper until well combined.
-
Step 3.
Stir the finely chopped red onion into the dressing, then add the tomato pieces and cucumber pieces. Toss to coat evenly with the dressing.
-
Step 4.
Fold the cooked farro and fresh parsley leaves into the tomato-cucumber mixture until evenly combined. Serve immediately or at room temperature.
