We made this salad for Mother's Day. Added feta for added protein. Otherwise we made the recipe as it stood. Vinaigrette is a lemony dressing. Made with regular farro as that is what we had. Delicious...

Solid vinaigrette based grain-side. I used 2 cups of cooked barley instead of farro (what I had on hand). Will make again.
