Notes
Vegetable broth: Salted water can be substituted for vegetable broth.
Cooking farro: Pearled farro and semi-pearled farro will generally be ready in 20-30 minutes. Whole grain farro will take longer and is best soaked overnight. For best results, follow the cook time on your package instructions.
Storing: This salad will keep for 5 days stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
