Three-Bean Farro Salad


                                                                           Vegetarian
             This tangy bean salad is the perfect lunch, packed with healthy
             fiber and protein to get you through your day. Farro is an ancient
             super-grain that has a nutty flavor and is a good source of iron in
             addition to fiber and protein. It is easy to digest and a delicious
             alternative to brown rice.
             On-the-Go Tip: This salad can be made ahead as a take-along
             lunch, as the flavors actually improve over time. Make it the night
             before and store in an airtight container.
