Guacamole Farro Salad made with ripe avocados, tomatoes, onion, cilantro and lime juice is a tasty side dish you'll want to serve over and over again.

We don't generally celebrate Cinco de Mayo which is this on May 5th; however, who could pass up a good guacamole? I know we can't. In fact, guacamole has become one of our favorite weekend snacks.

So when I purchased too many avocados on my last shopping trip, I had to use them up before they went bad.

How do you make Guacamole Farro Salad?

For this recipe you'll need Italian farro, water, avocado, tomatoes, red onion, lime zest and juice, jalepeno pepper, Canola oil, Kosher salt and black pepper.

Add the water to a medium pot and bring to a boil; then stir in the farro. Allow to simmer over low-medium heat until the water has been absorbed; approximately 15 minutes. Remove the farro and add to a bowl; let cool.

Add the avocado, tomatoes, onion, cilantro, lime zest and juice, pepper and oil to the farro. Season with salt and pepper; mix well and keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

This Guacamole Farro Salad was very filling, but refreshingly light and we ate it for lunch on it's own, but it would make a tasty side dish to go with your main meal as well. ~Enjoy!

    I love a good guac.

    And that Mexian Beer Cheese Soup looks heavenly.

    We don't normally celebrate Cinco de Mayo, either. And it's hard to believe it's already May 5 around the corner.

    I'm not much for Cinco de Mayo, but we are preloading the adult beverages in anticipation of my spouse's departure, so why not margaritas?
    I think you brilliantly used up an excess of avocados, Carrie!
