Asian Farro Salad
Farro is one of the world’s oldest cultivated grains and it packs a powerful protein punch (6 grams per 1/2 cup serving). Paired with crunchy veggies, hearty edamame, and slightly sweet Asian-style dressing, this is a super healthy, super filling, and super delicious salad. Serve by itself, as a side for grilled chicken or fish, or out of the fridge at midnight.
