It’s the perfect healthy side dish this fall! Have you had farro before? If not, it’s one of those grains you’re missing out on. It is super hearty, fibrous, and has a nice “bite” to it, almost like pasta. It’s delicious! Sometimes I even prefer it to quinoa. Once all the vegetables are roasted they are tossed with the farro, some almonds, dried cranberries and then a super simple and light vinaigrette that has a hint of cinnamon in it! That cinnamon is the kicker, it’s one of those surprise spices you wouldn’t think would be in a salad like this. But you’ll learn to absolutely love it!
