    1. I really liked it-- was filling and felt super healthy-- the dressing was fantastic-- I really need to make this again soon. One of those things that you eat and feel awesome and powerful afterward (I imagine a farro-version of Popeye eating spinach)

    2. I should have mentioned-- I used California Sweet Paprika, not smoked

  2. Made this 3/3/14: Used regular fennel- not as good. Pehaps just too much. Should slice more thinly, and maybe chop into small pieces. Left out radish, should have kept- added a nice light crunch.
