    Grapefruit Arugula Farro Salad

    Happy 2017 everyone! What an eventful and crazy year 2016 was. I'm so grateful for each of you, my readers and followers, for following along and for sticking with me on this blogging journey. 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

    My first recipe of 2017 is this Grapefruit Arugula Farro Salad with Grapefruit Champagne Vinaigrette. It's a great way to start the year of on a bright and healthy note.

    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!
