One of my patients has been mentioning some awesome sounding Farro salads that he made for meal prep, so I wanted to try my own version this week! This salad is vegetarian-friendly, but still provides a great source of protein and fiber, so it’s super filling This would make a great Meatless Monday meal prep for this upcoming week
