Farro Salad with Tomatoes and Balsamic Vinegar

This is a Weight Watchers Points Plus recipe, which I have tweaked to my own liking!
Made the original way, it is 3 PP per serving (this recipe serves 6)

3/4 Cup cooked farro...I use the quick cooking farro from TraderJoe's and sometimes I use a little chicken broth to cook it in rather than plain water.

2 diced medium tomatoes...The first time I made this, I had no tomatoes on hand, so I used a can of diced organic tomatoes..it was delicious, so that is how I usually make it! I do chop up a couple of cherry tomatoes to serve.

1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh parsley...Because I love this recipe so much, I grew my own this year!

3 TB of chopped red onion

1 TB of balsamic vinegar

1 TB of extra-virgin olive oil

salt to taste

Basically, cook up your farro, and while it is cooling off a bit, mix the rest of the ingredients in a medium sized bowl. I use something with a lid. Add the farro and combine well. Let it cool at least a half hour and that is it! So easy, so yummy!

You can add a bit of feta to the top, but make sure you adjust your points accordingly!
