Notes
- The prep time for this recipe does not include cooking time for the farro. Cook the farro according to package instructions (1 cup dry=2 cups cooked). Look for quick cooking farro to cut back on prep time. You can substitute barley, bulgur, or quinoa.
- Serve as a side, or add white beans, chickpeas, hard boiled eggs, or shredded chicken for a complete meal.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can make this salad in advance, but wait to dress it until right before serving.
