PEACH & FARO SPINACH SALAD
4 oz. baby spinach leaves (about 1/2 bag)
2 ripe yellow peaches
1/2 cup uncooked faro
1/8 tsp. salt
1/4 cup salted almonds, cut in half
1/4 cup feta, crumbled*
1/3 cup olive oil
3 tab. tarragon vinegar (or red wine vinegar)**
salt & freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tab. maple syrup
Put the faro in a pot with a little more than 3/4 cup of water and the 1/8 tsp. salt. Bring it to a boil and cook about 8 minutes. Pour it into a large sieve and rinse to cool it down.
On a pretty platter, layer the spinach, faro, peaches, almonds and feta.
Whisk together the oil vinegar, slat & pepper and maple syrup until they are thoroughly emulsified. And pour over the salad when you are ready to set it on the table.
P.S.– We had this all on it’s own for supper, but if you wanted to make it a little more hearty, add in a cup of cooked, chopped chicken or salmon.
*I like the feta with garlic & herbs, but plain feta is fine.
**Tarragon vinegar has a gaslight sweetness that is nice with the peaches, and I’ve used red wine vinegar as well. Both are nice.
The Thankful Heart 
this looks soooooooo good….
thanks Debi– hope to see you soon!!
This sounds delicious. I love all the tips you give us at the end – that’s always so helpful when we’re following a recipe for the first time!
HI Daisy– thanks. we’ve been eating salad to compensate for all the overeating on vacation and when our kids were here!
Hi Rhonda – this looks so scrumptious! I would not have thought to pair the faro with peaches. I might try to grill the peaches too! – Kat
Oh yumm, Kat. Have you grilled peaches? I’ve seen them in pictures grilled, but haven’t been brave enough to try it. –Loved your ice cream recipe!
Lunch for tomorrow! 🙂 Yummm!
Perfect for a lunch– hope you like it!
I made it this midday & loved it! x
