Farro is an ideal base for any grain bowl—it’s not only nutritious, but nutty and delightfully chewy to boot! Tossed together with juicy shrimp, crispy-tender green beans, and caramelized bell pepper, this salad is one of our all-time favorites. Lemony shallot citronette is a great staple dressing to keep in your back pocket!
