Notes

  • It’s a great idea to make plenty of this Lemonade Dressing and use it on all your salads this summer! Even pasta salads.
  • If you’re a mayo kind of person, add 2 tablespoons of mayo to the dressing to turn it into a creamy sweet and tangy lemon dressing.
  • The cooking water for the farro can be flavored with bay leaves, garlic, onion, allspice or can even be replaced with stock.
  • For even more protein, add chopped grilled chicken, steak, shrimp or smoked salmon to this farro salad!
