Tips:
- Meal prep: Save time by prepping the chicken, farro, and vegetables in advance. Store them separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the salad will taste. Look for plump, firm chicken breasts, crisp green beans, and sweet corn.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken is dry and tough. Cook the chicken breasts until they are just cooked through, about 10 minutes per side.
- Use a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what brings all the flavors of the salad together. Make sure to use a dressing that you enjoy and that complements the other ingredients.
- Add some crunch: Toasted nuts or seeds add a nice crunchy texture to the salad. You can also add crispy bacon or croutons.
