Smoked Farro Plum Salad

This post is sponsored by Bob's Red Mill. See below for more information.

Is there anything better than a fresh salad during the hot summer months? No, at least not in my book. Even better is a salad that uses the delightful stone fruit. It's a salad favorite of mine and when it's an anchor for the smoked farro and maple tahini dressing.

Summer Stone Fruit

During the summer, I’m lucky if I actually get to use the stone fruit to bake. It’s a family favorite. However, I make sure I sneak a few fruit salads in because they are just absolutely delightful. The sweet from the fruit pairs well with the hearty grains and smoothness of the tahini.

Beyond the plums, you could use peaches or even cherries. If you’re looking for easy, I’d go with peaches. Plums, as delicious as they are, can sometimes put up a fight when trying to remove the pit.

Bob’s Red Mill Farro

It’s no secret I love using Bob’s Red Mill Farro. This hearty grain is a cooking staple. It’s used for grain bakes, bowls, risottos, and of course, salads. The warm, mild flavor of this grain is such a great companion for vegetables. A few of my favorite ways to use it: zucchini grain bake, kale risotto, and this tomato salad.

Smoking Grains?

I’m obsessed with finding as many ways to eat grains as I can and when I first saw this technique in a cookbook, I thought it was genius. However, it wasn’t until we got a smoker that I got really excited.

I don’t like overly smoky flavors a lot but it can be wonderful in small bits. This plum salad was the perfect excuse. It just adds a bit of extra flavor with those beautiful summer plums. If you don’t have a smoker, you can use this technique. Or, I happen to know, this salad is also delicious without smoking the grains.
