  1. Then to heighten the flavor a bit, I sauteed diced, smoky chorizo sausage and tossed in red and green bell peppersTo that I added a bright Lemon Mustard Vinaigrette and my new stash of tender spring greens. Viola! A gorgeous and very tasty spring salad.

  2. Early Spring Salad of Lentils & Farro with Chorizo, Bell Peppers & Baby Greens

  3. This refreshing salad makes a memorable start to a special occasion dinner or a simple meal on its own accompanied by whole grain walnut bread. Although this is an easy salad to make, you will want to prepare the farro and lentils ahead, even a day or two in advance if you wish.
