Farro with Cucumbers, Feta and Sun Dried Tomatoes

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!
