I am a big fan of farro. It is a super nutty grain with great texture and it is perfect to mix with veggies for a delicious salad! This particular salad would make a great side item to any meat you are cooking and can be served at room temperature or cold. It would also be a great thing to keep in your fridge for a quick lunch! If you can't find farro no worries! Just use quinoa, barley, couscous or even brown rice! Enjoy!
