Hearty whole grain salads are always a great addition at any picnic. The key is to reverse the traditional ratio of more grain to less vegetable, packing this salad full of fresh vegetables and using the grain almost as a condiment.
In this recipe, spring vegetables take the lead and farro, or your grain of choice, assumes a supporting role. Take any extras home, toss with mixed greens, and top with a pan-roasted fish fillet or lean protein of choice and you’ve got a pretty good dinner, too.
