Nikki:
I am always looking for different approaches to using Farro. Such a healthly and tooth firm textured grain is a welcome additon to any menu. This is a nice clean recipe. A great combination of flavors for use during the coming warm months. I have added to my "Try Soon" folder. Thanks for sharing.
Best Regards,
Bob
