Farro Cucumber Tomato Salad

Here is a recipe that I'm just getting around to blogging. We had this a few rimes since we've made the switch to clean it. It is so filling and yummy. My girls cleaned their plate the last time we had this!

Ingredients:
3.5 cups Cucumber quartered and sliced
3.5 cups Grape Tomatoes halved
1 cup onion diced
2 cups dry Farro
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 chopped fresh basil
2 Tbsp. fresh cilantro
8 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
Pepper to taste

Directions:
1. Cook farro per package instructions
2. Ina separate pan add olive oil and onions.
3. Cook onions till soft over medium heat. You don't want them to caramelized, just break down a little.
4. Add red wine vinegar, basil, and cilantro.
5. Stir well until mixed
6. Add cooked farro, cucumbers, and tomatoes.
7. Stir until mixed.
8. Removed from heat and serve

If you are on the 21 Day Fix eating plan. One 1.5 cup serving covers one yellow, one green and one tsp for your eating plan.
