Wild Rice, Farro, and Tangerine Salad image

Both the wild rice and the farro can be cooked a day in advance; let them cool separately on baking sheets, then cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before dressing.

Provided by Joseph Lenn

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 sprigs thyme, divided
4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth, divided
Kosher salt
1 cup wild rice
1 cup farro
4 tangerines or 2 oranges
1/4 cup vegetable oil
Freshly ground black pepper
4 scallions, green parts only, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Bring 2 thyme sprigs, 2 cups broth, and 1 cup water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add a pinch of salt, then rice; reduce heat to medium-low and cover. Cook until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, 40-45 minutes. Remove thyme and let cool. Drain, if needed.
  • Meanwhile, cook farro in another medium saucepan, using remaining 2 thyme sprigs, 2 cups broth, and 1 1/2 cups water and cooking 35-40 minutes.
  • Using a sharp knife, cut all peel and white pith from tangerines; discard. Working over a large bowl, cut between membranes to release segments, placing segments in a small bowl. Squeeze juice from membranes into large bowl (you should have about 1/2 cup juice); discard membranes.
  • Whisk oil into tangerine juice in large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Add tangerine segments, wild rice, farro, and scallions and toss gently to coat; season with more tangerine juice, if desired.

I'm not a big fan of farro, but I loved this salad! The tangerines and dressing really bring it all together.

I found the salad a bit bland. Maybe I should have added more dressing or some extra herbs.

This salad is so versatile! I've used different types of citrus fruits and greens and it always turns out great. A true keeper recipe.

Sadly, I wasn't a big fan of this salad. The dressing was a bit too tangy for my taste and the farro was slightly undercooked. Might try it again with some modifications.

What a delightful salad with a burst of citrusy flavor! I substituted quinoa for farro and added some chopped walnuts for extra crunch. My family and I loved it. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
