Winter Farro Salad with Feta and Citrus Vinaigrette
Winter Farro Salad with Feta and Citrus Vinaigrette has a lot going on. The nuttiness of farro shines through in contrast to the sweetness of the winter fruit. Feta gives it just that little bit of zestiness needed to make this a well rounded salad that is as much at home as a side on your dinner table, or as the star of the show at a picnic.

Prepare farro according to directions. Let cool completely in refrigerator for 1 hour.
Add chopped orange, pear, celery, cranberries and pumpkin seeds to cooled farro. Gently toss with Orange and Thyme Vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve immediately at room temperature or chilled. If not serving immediately, you may need to add some additional dressing to freshen it up before serving. But be sure to add the dressing before refrigeration to prevent the pears from browning.
