Greek Farro Salad with Chicken Recipe

This Greek Farro Salad with Chicken should be fed to every kid and adult kid that still cries about their veggies. And if they don’t like it, drive far out into the countryside and abandon them. They’ll learn to love plants REAL quick. Seriously though—we get it if this or that ingredient isn’t your favorite, or you’re allergic to it, or your dad forced you to eat your weight in broccoli one time—but what’s up with arbitrarily HATING certain ingredients? It’s not like you got blackout drunk off of arugula once in college and now just the smell of it makes you gag. This salad is your cure-all. It serves up straightforward flavors, but it’s their bright and sweet and salty combination that makes this the ultimate comeback salad. And if you still don’t like it, I wish you well on your 20-mile hike back to civilization.
