Balsamic Recipe ∼ Garden Fresh Farro Bowl with Balsamic Dressing

I make farro bowls all the time since reading an article about how good farro is for our bodies. Plus, after having kids, I had a few extra pounds to loose. Any variety of vegetable would work for this so make it your own.

Ingredients

• ½ cup cooked farro
• ½ tomato, seeded and diced
• ½ cucumber, seeded and diced
• 2 mini bell peppers, seeded and diced
• ½ avocado, thinly sliced
• 8 Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
• 2 ounces crumbled feta cheese
• ½ cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1. Place cooked farro into a bowl. Add tomato, cucumber, bell peppers, avocado, and olives. Top with feta cheese.
2. Combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper in a lidded jar. Shake until dressing is well combined. Drizzle 1 to 2 tablespoons of dressing on top of bowl.
