This Farro Salad is exactly why it’s always a good idea to grill enough sausages for leftovers. But it’s so good that you’ll want to grill Mountain View Meats Sweet Italian Sausage just for this recipe. Grilled sausages and a rainbow of summer-fresh chopped vegetables are the heart of this cool, flavorful summer salad.
