Farro is an amazing ancient grain from the wheat family thats high in fiber, protein and trace minerals. It has an awesome taste and is absolutely delicious for any salad base. It’s pretty simple to make, and I sort of feel like it’s a cross between rice and wheat berries (although not gluten-free).

If you haven’t tried it, I highly recommend you do because it’s THAT delicious!!

Ingredients:

  • farro
  • arugula
  •  cheese of choice
  •  olive oil
  • salt and pepper
  • balsamic vinegar (optional)

Directions:

  1. add one to two cups farro, 1-2 tbs salt and cover with water and bring to a heavy boil
  2. lower to medium heat and let boil for a minimum of 30 min. or until it reaches your preferred texture
  3. add cheese of choice
  4. salt/pepper and olive oil/balsamic vinegar to taste
