Author Notes: Quick and easy salad to satisfy my fig cravings —Hechte44
Serves: 3-4
Ingredients
-
1
pound Raw Brussel Sprouts (Shredded)
-
1
cup Farro
-
0.5
Sweet Onion
-
1
cup Dried Black Mission Figs (Stemmed and Sliced)
-
1
splash Lemon Juice
-
1
pinch Salt and Pepper
-
4
cups Water
-
2
teaspoons Olive Oil
-
2
teaspoons Balsamic Vinegar
Directions
- Bring 4 cups of water to a boil, add the farro and reduce to a simmer. Cook for 30 minutes or until all liquid is absorbed. (For a little extra crunch, don’t cook for the full time). Drain and set aside to cool.
- Meanwhile, shred the brussel sprouts and set aside in a large bowl.
- Dice the half onion and saute on low heat with the olive oil, salt and pepper for 8-10 minutes or until caramelized.
- Remove the stems of the dried figs, slice and add to the brussel sprouts.
- Combine the onions and farro into the brussel sprout mixture and toss with lemon juice and balsamic vinegar. I recommend using fig balsamic vinegar if you have any on hand. Add extra salt and pepper if desired.
