TIPS ON THIS RECIPE:

  • Farro salad recipes are very adaptable. If you don’t love broccoli or peas, sub in your favorite veggies. Don’t have walnuts on hand? Almonds or pistachios work well, too! 
  • The food processor is the best tool for combining the dressing ingredients but if you prefer, you can whisk all the ingredients together by hand. Your dressing might have a bit more texture but it’ll still be DELISH. 
  • This easy farro salad tastes just as good the next day. Serve it cold or warm it up!
