For an extra layer of flavor, toast the farro in a dry pan for a few minutes before cooking. Adjust the lemon juice and olive oil to your taste preference. Feel free to add other vegetables such as bell peppers or chickpeas for added texture and nutrition. This salad is even better the next day as the flavors continue to meld.

A vibrant twist on the classic Levantine salad, this Farro Tabbouleh substitutes traditional bulgur with nutty farro, creating a delightful and wholesome dish. Infused with fresh herbs and zesty lemon, it's best when allowed to meld, transforming into a symphony of flavors.
