This warm farro salad with lemon vinaigrette is simple, filling, and so nourishing. It is easy to throw together and makes for the perfect lunch, dinner, and meal prep. The flavors are amazing together, yet so simple.

I actually got the idea of this warm farro salad from a tapas restaurant in Incline Village called Bite. We ordered this warm farro salad and I couldn’t stop thinking about it after we ate it. I knew I could recreate it. The simple flavors and ingredients just hit the spot and I wanted it for lunch the next day.

This nourishing farro salad is something you can meal prep for the week and it will still stay good. I love how simple ingredients can make your body feel amazing. If you need a filling salad that isn’t just lettuce and tomatoes, you have to make this!
