Prep ahead

If you’re making this meal throughout the busy week, chop your asparagus on your meal prep day or the day before. You can take it one step further by cooking the farro, asparagus and peas ahead.

How to keep your Spring Farro Salad cool outside

If you’re serving this salad at a summer picnic or party, you may be wondering how you can keep it cold. Simply add ice cubes to a larger bowl than the one you’re serving your Spring Farro Salad in and set your serving bowl on the bed of ice.
