This vibrant farro salad is a wonderful celebration of seasonal green vegetables and wholesome grains. The nutty texture of the semi-pearled farro provides a satisfying base for the crisp asparagus and sweet sugar snap peas, while the fresh dill and sherry vinegar dressing add a bright, zesty finish.
