Farro Greek Salad
Farro is the grain I never knew I loved. It’s chewy and healthy and goes great in a salad. I was first introduced to farro by Ina Garten. She made the most amazing salad… but that recipe is for another day.
Today, I am going to share my Farro Greek Salad creation. It is super easy, super versatile and super yummy.
Go to the grocery store and grab some farro, because this grain is worth gossiping about!
