If you are like me, then you are constantly looking for creative and delicious ways to eat more vegetables. This salad is perfect for the warmer months. It is healthy, colorful, pairs perfectly with any protein and can sit in the fridge for a few days. Farro is one of my favorite grains. I like to make this salad and have it in the fridge for a quick and healthy lunch or as a side with dinner. The flavors are bold and bright, making it difficult to stop eating it once you start. The farro adds a chewy, nutty texture. This is a great salad for summer gatherings and can be served either warm or cold. Enjoy!
