I'm hopeful and excited for the year to come, and I can't wait to bring you all some more delicious recipes and healthy living advice to help you have your best 2017!

Grapefruit Arugula Farro Salad

If your holiday season was anything like mine, it was filled with lots of indulgent treats, cocktails, and celebrations. That's all great and perfectly normal to celebrate, but now it's time to get back to a routine with some nourishing feel-good food. To me, there is nothing that feels more nourishing and delicious than a whole grain salad filled with fruit and vegetable goodness.

This grapefruit arugula farro salad is bursting with sweet, fresh ruby red grapefruit, peppery arugula and crunchy almonds that perfectly compliment delicious nutty farro. The grapefruit champagne vinaigrette rounds out the salad with a touch of tangy flavor that's just divine.

This delicious farro salad would be fantastic with chicken, pork, fish or beef for a balanced dinner, or alongside a yummy vegetable soup for a light and healthy vegetarian meal. It's great served both warm and cold, perfect for taking leftovers with you for lunch!
