Farro is an ancient grain that has a satisfying, chewy texture and earthy flavor that makes a great base for hearty salads and side dishes. It’s full of fiber and protein, and works well in other recipes as a substitute for brown rice or wheat berries.
Tip: When you’re chopping the celery, make sure to keep the leaves and toss them into the salad too. They add an extra dose of fresh flavor.
