Got a bunch of veggies in the fridge and not sure how to use them?
This delicious, plant-based salad is a hit year round! You can mix and match the veggies you use based on what is seasonally available (or in your fridge).
Prep Time: 15-minutes to prep (chopping, shredding, & boiling water* for farro).
*Substitute vegetable broth instead of water for more savory farro.
Cook Time: 30-minutes to make (includes cook time for farro).
Serves: 4-6 people
Farro, the grain used in this salad, is an ancient grain high in fiber and antioxidants, and a good source of protein (6 grams per 1/4 cup).
