Farro Salad with Mango, Chicken and Feta

Author: Marinka
Farro Salad with Mango Chicken and Feta is a complete meal, easy and quick to make, especially when you have cooked chicken in your freezer. A summer salad, that is filling, tasty and does not include any greens. A different salad to eat on a hot day.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup farro
  • 1 mango
  • 4 ounces feta cheese
  • 4 ounces chicken breast (NOTE 1)
  • 3 tablespoons oil
  • 1 tablespoon orange juice (NOTE 2)
  • salt and pepper
  • parsley

Instructions

  • Cook the farro according to directions on the packaging. Cook it until the level of 'al dente' you prefer. Drain and cool the farro.
  • Peel the mango and cut in cubes.
  • Cut the feta and chicken in pieces and chop the parsley.
  • Transfer farro, mango, feta, chicken and parsley to a large bowl and mix.
  • Make a vinaigrette from the oil, orange juice and salt & pepper. Add to the salad and mix to coat.
  • Garnish with parsley and serve.

Notes

  1. I like to poach the chicken for this salad. When you poach well, you will create a extremely juice chicken breast without any additional flavors from herbs or spices. In this salad where you don't want the chicken to compete with the other flavors or other textures, but rather work in synergy, poaching is an appropriate solution. If you want to be ready quicker, by all means buy a rotisserie chicken.
  2. Instead of orange juice, you can use white wine vinegar.
