Ingredients

  • 1 cup pearled farro
  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (1 lemon)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil, dill, or mint
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 can Bumble Bee Snackers™ Tuna Salad
  • 6 small radishes or 1 cucumber, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ⅓ cup roasted hazelnuts
  • Crumbled feta or goat cheese, optional for serving

Directions

  • In a medium pot over high heat, bring 2 quarts of salted water to a boil. Add farro, reduce heat, and simmer uncovered until tender, about 20-30 minutes (note: if purchasing in a bag, refer to package instructions as the type of farro can impact cook time). Drain; do not rinse.
  • In a large bowl, whisk to combine oil, lemon, herbs, honey, and salt. Stir in cooked farro to evenly coat, and set aside or refrigerate to cool.
  • Once farro is chilled or room temp, fold in tuna, radish/cucumber, and tomato. Sprinkle with nuts, cheese, and additional fresh herbs or fresh cracked pepper to taste.
