Warm farro tossed with a bright and herby vinaigrette and preserved lemons make for the perfect summer side dish.

This Lemon Herb Farro was inspired by the one from Dig Inn. It’s tossed with preserved lemon and a bright and herby dressing. Make it as a side dish or a component for a bowl and it goes perfectly with everything. I love to meal prep a batch of this and have for my week’s lunches.

Here are the Ingredients for this Lemon Herb Farro:

  • Vegetables - Garlic, Lemon

  • Herbs - Parsley, Thyme, Rosemary, Oregano

  • Seasonings - Salt, Black Pepper

  • Pantry - Farro, Olive Oil, Apple Cider Vinegar, Preserved Lemons, Honey
