Fresh green beans and whole grain Farro tossed together in a dijon dressing. This Green Beans and Farro Salad is one of my favorites because it is hearty, but still light and healthy!
You can make this salad with almost any recipe and it adds a nice addition to any dish. Feel free to use different grains if farrow isn’t your preference. If you are gluten free, you can use quinoa or another grain-free option.
You can also substitute different ingredients in the dressing and add more spice if you want added flavor. Feel free to add your favorite ingredients to the salad to take it to the next level. Some other options to think of would include; cherry, tomatoes, red onion, fresh herbs like parsley and basil, and feta cheese.
Enjoy this salad by itself or with a nice piece of fish.
