Note

This recipe can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated, just bring it to room temperature and toss with dressing right before serving.

Farro can be found at many grocery stores in the aisle with the rice and other grains. You can also look for it in health food stores or order it online. However, if you can't seem to find it, you can always substitute with brown rice, spelt, or even barley.

I had never made farro before but this sounded really good. I tried it and loved it! It's got a nutty texture like brown rice, but better. The combination of the cranberries and the goat cheese blended perfectly. This one's a keeper!
