Farro is a nutritious, whole, ancient grain that you can read more about here.
This is a super tasty, and versatile salad. If you can't find farro, you could use barley, quinoa, or brown rice in its place.
If you're on Whole30, use riced cauliflower in place of farro and this salad will be completely compliant (just check your dijon label).
