Summer Farro White Bean and Veggie Salad in a bowl.
It’s fresh salad season folks and I’m back with a well rounded nutrient dense, fiber and protein packed salad.
Salads don’t have to be boring with just lettuce, veggies and dressing.
Pro salad making tips:
-start with a grain…farro, quinoa, millet, brown rice, whole grain or brown rice pasta
-add a plant based protein….beans/legumes or tofu
-add in your veggies (fruit too!). Whatever you like!
-ALWAYS add a dark leafy green….kale, spinach, swiss chard, arugula
-top with a salad dressing (look for dressings with NO SUGAR or make your own)
-you can also top with chopped nuts or sprouts…I used broccoli sprouts
Thats it!
