Warm Farro Salad

Warm Farro Salad

This warm farrow salad makes for a healthy, balanced meal without requiring much time and effort.  Full of flavor and texture, this dish is a perfect weekday lunch or dinner!  The chickpeas are vital, but feel free to play with the other vegetables in the dish!   I usually use whatever fresh produce I have on hand, and it turns out great every time.  The recipe includes broccoli, spinach, and peas, but asparagus and bell peppers also fit into the dish wonderfully.
