Instructions

- Cook presoaked farro according to package instructions, 10-15 minutes or just until tender. Drain well and let cool, or rinse with cold water for quicker cooling.
- Blanch asparagus in salted/boiling water just until color changes to a bright green, 30-60 seconds, depending on thickness of your asparagus. Drain, cool, and cut into 2-inch pieces.
- In a large bowl, toss together cooled farro, cooled asparagus, and baby spring greens. Drizzle desired amount of dressing over mixture and toss gently to combine well.
- Gently add in the strawberries, mandarin oranges, and crumbled feta. Add more dressing if desired and toss. Top with toasted almonds and serve immediately.

Notes
- Tips for buying asparagus: Choose vibrant green, thin stemmed ones. The thinner ones are much more tender. Look for firm tips; they should be not be soft nor damp.
- Dressing can be made several days ahead of time.
- Make this recipe dairy-free by removing the feta cheese.
- Make this recipe nut-free by using sunflower seeds instead of nuts.
