Farro Tabbouleh Salad

Farro is an ancient grain that hosts a bunch of health benefits. But if you are not a fan, you can always substitute quinoa, barley, or bulgur. These ancients grains are thankfully now grocery store staples, so you should have no problem find them. If you wanted to order online, Amazon has Bob’s Red Mill Farro in bulk for a great price.

I was able to find par-cooked Farro at Trader Joe’s and it only took 10 minutes to boil. Once the Farro is cooked, just set aside to cool before adding the rest of the ingredients.

Next, add all of the chopped veggies to the bowl along with the Farro. Lastly, prepare the simple dressing and toss with the veggies and you are all set!

Farro Tabbouleh Salad holds up excellent in the fridge and can last about 5 days. Add grilled chicken, salmon, or tofu, and you have a complete meal.
