- 3/4 cup farro
- 1 ½ cups water
- 1 cucumber
- 1 large tomato
- 1 avocado
- 2 tablespoon chopped red onion

- 1 large bunch cilantro
- Salt & pepper
- 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
Directions:

- While the farro is cooking, Cut the cucumber, tomato, avocado into 3/8” dice. Chop the red onion, scallions, and the cilantro.
