I love a good, easy grain salad that is loaded with health benefits, is great for meal prep, and takes no time at all to pull together. This farro salad recipe is great for summer and checks all those boxes. This salad is my variation of the infamous, viral Jennifer Aniston salad.

Ingredient Notes:

Farro: For this recipe, I used Bob’s Red Mill’s Farro . Farro is an ancient grain and is a mainstay of the daily diet in ancient but is still a popular food and ingredient today. Farro is hearty, chewy, and rich with a nutty flavor that is great in salads, soups, casseroles, etc.

Red Wine Vinegar: A staple in Mediterranean cuisine, red wine vinegar is known for its delicious, tangy flavor that works so well in salads and dressings, as well as marinades and pickling. If you don’t have any on hand, a good substitute is white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar.
