Farro & White Bean Salad with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Chewy farro tossed with white beans, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, and arugula in an olive oil and red wine vinaigrette.

Farro has a satisfying chew that regular rice just doesn't offer, which makes it a great base for a grain salad that's meant to be a meal rather than a side. Here it's tossed with white beans for extra staying power, sun-dried tomatoes for concentrated sweetness, and Kalamata olives for a briny hit.
A handful of peppery arugula and a simple red wine vinaigrette keep the whole thing from feeling heavy, and a little crumbled feta on top ties it back to its Mediterranean roots.
Between the farro and the beans, this salad delivers a substantial amount of fiber in one bowl, which is part of what keeps it filling well past lunchtime. It travels well too, making it a natural choice for meal prep or a packed lunch that doesn't need reheating. Pack it into jars on a Sunday and you have several ready-made lunches waiting in the fridge all week.
