Farro Salad w/ Orange Avocado Dressing

Summer is about at the halfway point and I have another wonderful, filling salad for y’all!  I’ve really enjoyed creating all these unique dressings!   In this case, orange-avocado that I would totally use on other salads!

Let’s start with the dressing.  You’ll need to squeeze the juice from one orange and combine that with a (peeled and pitted, obviously) avocado, cilantro, lemon juice, and a little garlic.  Blend this together until you have green goodness!

While the farro is cooking, you can steam the broccoli.  In a large bowl, combine the greens (the recipe called for kale, but I had arugula and baby spinach on hand so I used those instead), little tomatoes, carrots, cucumber, peppers, scallions, dried cranberries, and toasted pine nuts (that I did not burn this time).   Mr. FBBQ and I also went to VegFest in Detroit, where I picked up some microgreens!  Of course, I added those to this dish. 

In addition to Veg Fest, we went to the Lavender Festival where I got this adorable little Alpaca bear!
Reds, Oranges, Yellows, Greens!!

Once the farro and broccoli are cool, add them to the salad mix.  Top with the homemade dressing and you are good to go!
