Cold and Refreshing Farro Salad

This is my idea of the best farro salad! Made with an abundance of fresh ingredients, a nice blend of textures and a delicious balance of flavors. It’s sure to be the highlight of any meal!

It’s savory, sweet, tangy, tart, vibrant, perfectly simple and yet it’s a salad you’ll remember.

The star of the salad is not only the farro but also the Montmorency dried cherries. You’ll love their concentrated, unique, and exciting flavor and chewy texture.

They make for a great snack, a delicious salad topping, and are so tasty mixed into oatmeal or baked goods.

A few benefits and details about Montmorency Tart Cherries:

Did you know Michigan Montmorency tart cherries are a natural food source of melatonin? Studies have shown that consumption of tart cherry juice can prevent insomnia and improve the quality and duration of sleep.
They are a heart healthy fruit. Studies indicate that they may help lower levels of cholesterol and triglycerides and reduce inflammation.
They may help naturally reduce inflammation related to arthritis and gout.
You can find them available year round in dried, frozen, canned or juice form.
By choosing these you are supporting locally American-grown fruit (75% of these cherries are grown in Michigan, the other 25% elsewhere in the U.S.).
When purchasing your Montmorency cherries, look for “U.S. Grown” or “Product of the U.S.A” to make sure you are getting real U.S. Montmorency tart cherries”
Imported tart cherries are boxed in shipping containers and may travel more than 5,000 miles before reaching your grocery store. Michigan Montmorency cherries go from a U.S. farm to your local grocery store (See photo referral below for a comparable, the cherries above are Michigan Montmorency while the cherries below are imported).
They are also available in a sweetened variety which is what I opted to use here since we’ve already used a tart dressing.

You’ll love these deeply colored, juicy jewels as the perfect finishing touch to this full flavored salad!
