Reviews
Made this last evening for a family dinner and it was a BIG hit! Even the children liked it. Will definetly make it again!
Super delicious! Served it with some seared prawns. The hubs loved it and went back for seconds.
Absolutely loved this salad! I made this on a hot summer night and it was dinner. I changed it up a bit by adding a little diced celery and marinated mozzarella balls. I also used just 2 ears of corn. This time of year, ears of corn are very large so I used way less. I also had just 1 cup of uncooked farro which came out to be about 2 cups. If I had more I would have wanted more of the dressing. Otherwise, it was just perfect. Highly recommend!
Made this today. Never had farro before but this was really good. The textures were really great. Will definitely make this again.
Delicious! My meat loving husband loved it. I did use only 3 ears of corn as that was what I had leftover and I think it was the right amount. Other than that I made no changes.
Another win for Katie Lee! We loved this! The dressing was so simple; flavorful and light. I couldn’t find smoked mozzarella, so substituted smoked gouda. Absolutely delicious, and very filling. Great main dish salad. My meat loving hubby even had seconds and said he definitely wants this again!
Loved the fresh taste! The bite of the farro. My perfect salad!
Would not make this again, I followed the recipe. Little flavor. 4 corns overwhelmed the dish and competed with the farro. Made quite a bit, but no one will eat it so it is out.
The dressing for this salad is bomb!
This is incredible
