I’d keep these three things separate and then toss before serving..

1.) Cooked Farro

2.)
1 cup packed spinach leaves
1 oz Mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup canned pinto beans (I happen to have some leftover)
14g dried cranberries

3.)
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp Balsamic vinegar
1/2 tsp oregano
Pinch of salt and pepper

That may work.

I have to be out the door very early in the morning, several hours before we share the meal at church potluck. Thanks. It looks like a lovely, fresh addition to the usual potluck fare. :)

The look similar and are also quite chewy in texture…plus I have the wheat berries in my cabinet right now. :)
