Hi Anne! In the original recipe submitted, Des (the TK member who shared this recipe) says that you add the dressing before serving. It probably won’t hurt to dress the salad an hour or so before serving but I think it’s probably best not to do it too far in advance.

Quick question….I’m making this for thanksgiving and am wondering if I should add the dressing tomorrow before serving or add it today since I’m making it ahead? I’m pretty sure it will be fine either way, but I’m such a direction follower that I don’t want to risk ruining it by adding dressing today.

Jayne, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Elizabeth, feta cheese would work well in this salad, too. Goat cheese has a tang to it, and is very creamy. You’ll lose a bit of that texture with the feta, but it will still taste great.

I like Farro and am always on the lookout for new ways to prepare it. This looks yummy. Just wondering, since I never happen to have Goat Cheese in my fridge, do you think Feta would be a good substitute? Honestly, I don’t know what Goat Cheese tastes like so I’m in the dark about a substitute. Thanks!

This really seems easy! I bought a pack of farro last year and left it to spoil because I didn’t know how to use it. So silly. I’m gonna go to the supermarket tomorrow tomorrow to get a pack. This recipe deserves a chance.
