Arugula and Farro Salad with Herbs and Feta

This salad is a mainstay in our house. We probably eat this salad more than any other. This salad includes Farro - a grain with protein and fiber -- and a lot of vegetables. We have a lemon tree so the dressing is also always available... Pair the salad with a boneless skinless chicken breast and you have a complete meal.
