For the salad
- 1 cup farro
- 1 teaspoon salt

- 2 avocados
- Pumpkin seeds 1/4 cup

- Feta cheese 1/2 cup
Instructions
For the dressing
- Add all the ingredients to a bowl and whisk to combine. Or pour in a tightly sealed container and shake well.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking. If you like it sweeter then add more honey. If you prefer a more tart dressing then add more lemon juice.
For the salad
- Boil 2 quarts of water, add farro and salt and turn it down to a simmer. Cook for 30 minutes until farro is soft. Pour in a colander to drain excess water. Rinse with cold water to cool the farro down faster.
- Slice the radishes and add it to the dressing to marinate. This removes the sharpness from the radishes.
- In a large salad bowl, add all the ingredients. Pour dressing over salad and toss to combine.
