Butternut Squash Farro Salad
with Lime Shallot Dressing
By far, my new FAVORITE salad. This is straight up delicious . I just can’t get over these flavors.
Roasted and smoky squash with crispy garbanzo beans. Fresh cilantro, lime and shallots are amazing with crunchy farro and pomegranate seeds.
Toss it all with arugula and serving extra dressing on the side. Pair it with grilled chicken or roasted salmon. Keep it vegetarian – it’s all good.
I made this on a complete whim and a hungry stomach. Roasted vegetables and farro – is a great combination.
