What is farro?
Farro is a nutrient-rich ancient whole-grain that’s most similar to barley. It’ a good source of fiber, protein and antioxidants, and makes for the perfect salad grain because of its chewy texture.
To prepare farro, you boil it in water for roughly 15-20 minutes, then drain any excess liquid. Use it in place of other grains like rice or quinoa, or toss it onto a hearty salad.
It has almost a nutty taste, and is a delicious nutritious grain to add into your carb rotation.

- Arugula– or other greens like kale
- Roasted sweet potato

I love the combination of flavors this salad provides. It’s perfect for a holiday, dinner party, or for a work week lunch. Serve it cold or at room temperature for ideal taste.
