1. Cook Grains
In a medium pot, bring the water to a rolling boil. Add a pinch of salt and the farro. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the grains are tender but still chewy, about 30 minutes. Drain off any excess water and set aside to cool.
2. Prep
While the farro is cooking, prepare the cucumber, tomatoes, parsley, and red onion. Place the diced cucumber in a colander, sprinkle with salt, and let it sit for at least 10 minutes to drain the excess moisture.
3. Make Dressing
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, ground coriander seeds, and a pinch of cinnamon. Set aside.
4. Dress the Salad
In a large bowl, combine the cooled farro, drained cucumber, quartered cherry tomatoes, chopped parsley, crumbled feta, and red onion. Toss with the dressing to coat evenly. Before serving, give the salad a final taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
