feta bacon & strawberry farro spinach salad

feta bacon & strawberry farro spinach salad

The other weekend we took a trip down to Greensboro and while there we ate lunch at one of my favorite places there, the Green Bean.

I ordered a strawberry spinach bacon salad that was so incredibly delicious I knew I had to come home and make a version of it myself immediately!

The sweet slightly tart flavor of the strawberries pairs so perfectly well with the savory bacon and salty cheese making it a match made in flavor heaven.

The only thing I felt it was missing was a grain, so in my dish I decided to utilize one of my favorite whole grains – farro.  And let me tell you, it was the icing on the cake that this dish needed.

And the textures of the dish, oh my – crispy bacon, melty cheese, juicy strawberries and the slightly chewy farro makes every bite just absolute perfection.

It’s honestly the best salad I’ve had in a long time, and that’s saying something because I’ve eaten my fair share of salads!
