Colorful Farro Salad

Here is a light, healthy meal to help you detox from all that holiday food!  To me, nothing is more refreshing and nutritious than a big grain salad – you have your grain, your vegetables and your protein from the beans all in one bowl – who needs more! Farro is a member of the wheat family, and has pleasantly chewy texture. It is relatively inexpensive, but if you buy it from the bulk bins at the store it’s even cheaper!

Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups uncooked Farro
• 4 ½ cups Vegetable Broth
• 1 Red Tomato, diced
• 1 Yellow Tomato, diced
• 2 large Green Onions, sliced diagonally
• 1 cup Fresh Spinach, packed
• ½ cup Black Olives, sliced
• ¼ Cup Kalamata Olives, sliced in half
• 1 ½ cups cooked Kidney Beans
• ½ cup Olive oil
