Grain Salad With Stuffed Bell Peppers Recipe

Salad Preparation

Begin by washing the lettuce, tomatoes, and bell peppers. Chop the lettuce and tomatoes into bite-sized pieces, and set them aside. For the bell peppers, cut off the tops and remove the seeds, preparing them to be stuffed.

Grain Cooking

Prepare the grains according to package instructions. Farro or another whole grain like quinoa or bulgur can be used for this recipe. Once cooked, allow the grains to cool slightly before adding them to the salad.

Pepper Stuffing

Stuff the prepared bell peppers with the cooked grains, adding any additional ingredients like cheese, nuts, or a protein source (eggs, for instance) as desired. Season with salt, pepper, and herbs or spices to taste.

Final Assembly

Combine the chopped lettuce and tomatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and gently mix to combine. Place the stuffed bell peppers on top or alongside the salad. Garnish with parsley before serving.
