Farro Beet Salad

Farro is a hearty, chewy grain kind of like wheatberries.  Instead of throwing those beet greens out, chop them finely and add them in- they are kind of like kale. Eat warm or at room temperature. This dish is great for a picnic!

1 red onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 golden or red beets, with greens, sliced

1 cup farro

3 cups water

2 Tbsp olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Add onion, garlic, and beets to pan and sauté with olive oil for 15 mins or until onions are translucent and beets are tender.

In a separate saucepan, boil 3 cups of water and add farro. Turn down to simmer and cook until all the water has evaporated. 

Toss the cooked farro in with the veggies and add salt and pepper to taste. 

Serves about 4
