Dang! This is so amazing! I had some farro – never cooked with it before – and found this recipe. Not crazy about avocados, either, but am trying to incorporate them into my diet. This recipe looked easy (it is!) but rather bland (IT ISN’T!).
Turned out perfect the first time, and the flavors the next day were even better than the first.
More avocados, please!
Thank you for this DEFINITE keeper, I can’t wait to make it again.

This was fantastic. I made it as a main dish and it was basically a “taco bowl” it was my first time using Farro and I am hooked! I did cook it ahead of time and just warmed it up at dinner time. I used feta as that is what I had on hand. I had cooked my black beans in the crockpot a week prior and froze them in individual bags. (saves on salt intake) FABULOUS. I will be making this again!

I love that this uses farro. I am always looking for new ways to use it.

Good Morning Sandy! Your recipe looks delicious. To be honest, I can’t remember the last time I had friends over for a healthy meal. I usually make a very heavy meal that requires a nap afterwards. I love the idea of making it healthy. I also agree with you about the one person not eating. It does takes some of the joy away from the gathering.

By the way, I recently purchased a reusable grocery bag with that Julia Child quote on it:-)

I totally agree with you. I always feel so bad and the dinner is never complete if someone can’t eat.

Great dish–so refreshing!
