Allison Hooper’s Farro Salad – Design*Sponge

Spring and summer are my favorite seasons for salads. When produce is at its peak, you can eat it without cooking it — fresh off the vines! This week’s Spring Vegetable Salad with Goat Cheese and Lemon Vinaigrette by Allison Hooper, co-founder of Vermont Creamery, incorporates the best of crisp, sweet vegetables mixed with a crunchy whole grain, a zesty vinaigrette and a tangy goat cheese. Enjoying this dish shouldn’t be limited to spring, and can be adapted to utilize the best sweet, crunchy vegetables — and even fruits — that please your palate. If you adapt it to your own tastes, please let us know! —Kristina
