Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beets

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap each beet in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet. Roast for 45-60 minutes until tender. Once cooled, peel and dice the beets.

  2. 2

    Cook the Farro

    In a medium pot, bring 3 cups of water to a boil. Add the farro and a pinch of salt. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 25-30 minutes until the farro is tender but still chewy. Drain any excess water.

  3. 3

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the roasted beets, cooked farro, and pistachios. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Toss gently to combine.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the salad warm or at room temperature, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
