This bowl is inspired by a salad I used to grab for lunch all the time at Central Market. Since I don’t work close to Central Market anymore, I decided to take matters into my own hands and make this dish for myself. These bowls serve great as dinners or prepped as lunch for the week. The dressing is so delectable I could eat it with a spoon, and everything is baked on one baking sheet except for the farro. It’s so easy you have no excuse not to make these hearty bowls!
