THYME VINAIGRETTE SALAD
"A couple from France gave us this recipe years ago when they were guests in our home," relates Jackie Heyer of Cushing, Iowa. "The dressing is the real French dressing-made with oil, vinegar, lemon juice and herbs-not the creamy tomato-based type we're accustomed to. The thyme flavor is wonderful on any combination of greens and vegetables," she adds.

SUMMER SALAD WITH LEMON VINAIGRETTE
This refreshing recipe goes well with grilled fish or chicken. We enjoy the lemon vinaigrette dressing at room temperature, so I make it first and let it rest on the counter while I toss the salad together. -Julie Kirkpatrick, Billlings, Montana

GRAIN SALAD WITH OLIVES AND WHOLE-LEMON VINAIGRETTE
Steps:
- Cook farro in a large wide pot over medium heat, stirring often, until golden brown and toasted (it should start to smell like popcorn), about 4 minutes. Remove pot from heat and pour in cold water to cover grains by 1"; throw in a generous amount of salt (a healthy handful should do it). Set pot over medium-high heat and bring water to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, skimming surface occasionally of any foam that may rise to the top, until grains are tender but still have some bite, 25-35 minutes. Drain and transfer farro to a large bowl.
- Meanwhile, using the side of a chef's knife, coarsely crush olives to break them up into large craggy pieces; discard pits. Place in a large bowl and add chopped lemon and shallots. Toss to combine; season with salt and pepper. Let mixture sit 5 minutes to allow shallots to slightly pickle and flavors to meld.
- Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium. Add olive mixture and cook, swirling occasionally, until ingredients are warmed through and shallots are slightly softened, about 4 minutes. Scrape vinaigrette into bowl with farro and toss to combine. Taste grain salad and season with salt, pepper, and a little lemon juice if you want.
- Just before you're ready to eat, fold herbs into salad.
- Do Ahead
- Grains can be cooked 1 day ahead; let cool, then cover and chill. Salad (without herbs) can be made 6 hours ahead; cover and chill.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the salad will be. This is especially true for the lemon thyme vinaigrette, as fresh herbs have a much brighter flavor than dried herbs.
- Don't overdress the salad: A little vinaigrette goes a long way, so start with a small amount and add more to taste. You can always add more dressing, but you can't take it away.
- Let the salad rest for a few minutes before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together and the dressing to soak into the salad.
- Garnish the salad with fresh herbs: This will add a pop of color and flavor to the salad.
