Invite the flavors of Italy into your kitchen with a hearty farro salad featuring a delicious medley of textures and tastes. Juicy tomatoes, refreshing cucumber, and tangy pepperoncini pair perfectly with earthy farro and creamy cannellini beans so you get a little bit of everything in each bite. Radicchio is an Italian staple that gives this salad color and slight bitterness, and you can mix it with any amount of romaine lettuce that best suits your personal taste. Drizzle with an herb-infused vinaigrette, and dig in!

Definitely making this with my fish dinner ☺️ very yummy
Love this dressing. I added a handful of beans to the dressing and blended it all together to make it creamy. So good!
Great salad and great dressing. I'll use this dressing for my other salads too.
