How to make a weekday Farro and Lettuce salad

Happy New Year!

Today we’ll have some good fiber and vitamins with this farro salad. This is a recipe a meal prep friendly. Let's get to it!

Ingredients

Salad:

• 2 cups of cooked farro

• 1 cup cooked garbanzo beans, roasted and seasoned with hot paprika, salt and pepper (un roasted and out of the can chickpeas will work too)

• 10 cherry tomatoes, halved.

• 1/4 cup chopped basil, I strongly recommend you to find 80AcreFarms Basil, you'll thank me later :)

• 2 cups of finely shopped lettuce, also an 80AcreFarms variety will make a difference

• 1/4 cup goat cheese

• A few slices of avocado to garnish

• Some micro greens to garnish and add more greenery to the dish
  

Dressing

• The juice of 1 lemon

• The zest of 1 lemon

• 1/4 cup olive oil

• 1 shallot, finely diced

• Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
  

Procedure:

1. Cook farro per packaging instructions and reserve.

2. While farro is cooling, make the salad dressing by using a whisk to mix all ingredients until you get an emulsion. Let it sit for 5 minutes so the shallots get a little pickled.

3. Add farro to a large bowl, add rest of salad ingredients and mix. Add dressing and mix again.

4. Correct your seasoning and serve.
