Oh September, you beautiful biatch, welcome back. I’ve missed you and your fall glory.

Fall is a special time for me. After 3 months of being trapped in the hottest place on earth, it finally starts to cool down…. and we can like do things again. Like normal, fun things. First day that is under 82 degrees, so help me, I will be up a mountain faster than you can spell hiking. I’m sorry, but by this time I go a little stir crazy. And if you’re wondering if all my pumpkin spice candles are out and lit. They very much are, thank you.

What can I say, I’m a sucker for fall. Which leads me to this glorious Fall Farro Salad!

If you’re wondering what Farro is, boy you are in for a treat. It’s an ancient grain that has been around for thousands of years. And for good reason. This little grain has a perfect nutty complex taste. It is perfect at as a side or in a salad. Which is exactly where this Fall Farro Salad came from! It has all the flavors of fall and is perfect along side any main dish. Personally, I whipped up a big batch of this Fall Farro Salad and had it with chicken multiple times this week and it was perfect to pack for lunch.

Cough, Cough Thanksgiving?

That’s right, pin this Fall Farro Salad for Thanksgiving and it’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser for the biggest food day of the year!  And if you couldn’t already tell This Fall Farro salad healthy, so go ahead make a big bowl and enjoy!
