Did you make this?Let me know how it turned out in the comments below!
Oh, Claire… I am somewhat (but only slightly) bothered by how much I would like to emulate her. (Eek!) She brings classy conniving to a whole new level. [Admission: after we first started watching HOC, I started wearing only neutral colors, a simple ring and a watch. And would often ask my husband, “What would Claire wear?”]
Adding farro to my summer salad must-try list right now…..
I know, she may be evil, but she’s one classy lady! And oh my gosh, you have me laughing at your neutral colors, minimalist jewelry thing! lol I feel like Claire whenever I wear my sleek black zip-up track jacket for working out ; ) haha Hope you love the farro!
This is so pretty, Ali! I really need to get on the farro bandwagon. It looks so hearty and delicious!
Thanks, Jessica! I’m definitely really into it at the moment!
Yum! Mediterranean food is my fave! I was a little bit late to the HOC party also, but now I can’t get enough!
xx Claire

Oh I’m OBSESSED with HOC. Boyfriend and I watched Season 3 in 2 days!! And way to kill two birds with one stone!
Haha thanks Sarah! It’s definitely an easy show to binge on! : )
I look forward to my daily workouts so I can zone out to my favorite shows! So glad you are watching HofC! It is SO good!
Yes, I really can’t get enough!
I love salads like this that can be saved for weekday lunches!! This sounds awesome!
Thanks, Katrina!
Absolutely a great recipe! A keeper!!
Umm that sounded weird. You’re already IN shape. Better shape? Hotter than you already are? You know what I meant. ;-)
Haha, that didn’t sound weird at all! But now you’ve gone and called me hot, so…
; P
Quinoa doesn’t stand a chance next to farro in my book. I love when you cook with ancient grains! Congrats on getting in shape girl – keep it up!
I love them both, but I think yes, I think I agree with you! And thanks, girl! ; )
The hubs and I have been TRYING to find a new show to watch, and maybe we will have to try this House Of Cards (see I am even more behind than you!)
I also have yet to try farro (I live under a rock) so this post is bursting with new and delicious ideas! Pinned!
It’s SOOOO good! So is farro. : )
