This vibrant farro and pine nut tabbouleh offers a hearty, modern twist on the traditional Middle Eastern herb salad. By swapping cracked bulgur wheat for nuttier farro grains, the dish achieves a satisfyingly chewy texture that pairs beautifully with the crunch of toasted pine nuts. It is a brilliant example of vegan cooking where fresh, high-quality vegetables like heirloom tomatoes and crisp cucumber take centre stage, brightened further by a generous amount of flat-leaf parsley and a zingy lemon dressing.
As a protein-rich grain salad, this recipe is an excellent choice for a healthy lunch or a nutritious side dish at a summer barbecue. The addition of creamy chickpeas and a subtle kick from the jalapeño creates a complex flavour profile that improves over time. Preparing it twenty minutes before serving allows the dressing to soak into the grains, ensuring every mouthful is perfectly seasoned and full of Mediterranean-inspired flair.
