Optional: 1/4-1/2 cup shaved parmesan 

Dressing 
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar reduction
1-2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp salt, or to taste 

Cook the Flourist Farro according to package directions in plenty of water until soft. While the Farro cooks, combine the remaining salad ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Combine dressing ingredients in a separate bowl and stir to combine. 

Once the Farro is cooked, drain it well and let it cool for a few minutes. Add it to the bowl with the dressing to taste and stir to combine. Garnish with parsley, cheese, and olives if desired and serve.
