A picnic salad is no worse for being eaten in direct sunlight-though it also excels straight from the fridge, making it an ideal make-ahead work lunch option. It's zippy and light, but hearty enough to be a full meal if all that your friends bring is a pack of Solo cups and a bottle of rosé.
Picnic salad is the star of the potluck, the beach trip, the backyard hang. People will request the recipe.
Seek out farro with "semi-pearled" on the label-this means that some of the outer hull of the grain has been removed, helping it cook in less time than whole grain farro while also retaining some fiber and hearty texture.
