Tuscan Farro & Green Salad

Several weeks ago, I went out to dinner with a group of friends and had a very tasty salad that I decided to recreate at home. You’ll love Tuscan Farro & Green Salad with Citrus Vinaigrette. Farro is high in protein so you can serve it as a main or a side, or with your favorite grilled protein. Let’s go to my kitchen and make it!
