Ingredients

â…“ cup farro

3 cups fresh spinach

4 radishes, thinly sliced 

1 (15-oz) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained

¼ cup fresh parsley

1 large lemon, zested and juiced 

¼ cup tahini

Instructions

  1. In a small pot, combine the farro with 1 cup water and bring to a boil. Once the water is boiling, reduce heat to a simmer and cook, covered, for about 25-45 minutes (according to package instructions).

  4. To make the dressing, combine the juice of 1 large lemon with 1 teaspoon of lemon zest in a separate, small bowl. Then add the tahini and water and mix well. 
  5. Drizzle the dressing over the salad, and toss until well combined.
