Love this recipe! Nutty, chewy farro with the sweet/sour of the cherries, the saltiness of the feta, and the bright acidity of the lemon, with peppery herbs? SO GOOD.

I can’t get watercress here so I had to sub an arugula baby spinach mix. I also upped the lemon in the dressing just to adjust it to my personal tastes. Very delicious.

I absolutely LOVE that you posted a photo of the ingredients and provided the name!!! I am not familiar with watercress or farro but since I am quickly reviewing my in-box, I didn’t have enough time to do a search to find out. This is so great that I took time out to let you know it is so helpful! Thank you so much!

I too have a “black thumb”, its ok, we’re all works in progress, right?! LOVE the sound of this salad… I am falling hard for tart cherries, and I can totally see how they would pair well with some crisp watercress. Thank you for the inspiration!!

I really like the look of this! Of course, I’m always a fan of salads that include fruit like cherries. But the pics in this look especially great. Will have to try next time I’ve got my hands on these ingredients!

Tart plums are very popular here in Thailand, so I’m guessing I could try this recipe and use the plums instead. Either way, it looks delicious.

I am a big fan of fresh herbs but also have a bit of a black thumb when it comes to growing and watering them. Except for mint. Mint just goes and grows wherever!

Love the cherries in here — perfect for this time of year in DC as we’re celebrating the cherry blossom festival!
