Summer Farro Salad
Farro’s firm texture and slightly nutty flavor make it versatile enough to go from salad to soup. Use it in the same way you would use rice, couscous or barley. In our Summer Farro Salad, it’s combined with summer fresh veggies and herbs straight from your garden or farmer’s market.
