I'm not usually a fan of farro, but this salad changed my mind. The farro was cooked perfectly and had a great texture. The dressing was also spot-on, with a nice balance of tangy and sweet.

This caprese farro salad was a hit at my last potluck! The combination of sweet tomatoes, creamy mozzarella, and nutty farro was divine. I especially loved the addition of fresh basil, which really brightened up the dish.
