- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/2 tsp Celtic Sea Salt

INSTRUCTIONS
- Add 4 cups of defrosted bone broth to saucepan and 2 cups farro. Cover pot and allow to simmer on low-medium heat for 20 min or until no broth remains. Farro should be tender but not mushy. Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool
- While farro is cooking, preheat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper.
- Place washed and dried cherry tomatoes on the baking sheet and drizzle ghee over top, covering tomatoes.
- Sprinkle minced garlic clove on top, season with sea salt, pepper, and dried thyme. Roast for 1.5 to 2 hours, tossing every 30 minutes. Tomatoes are done when they are shriveled and blistered.
- While tomatoes are in the oven, combine lemon juice, avocado oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. Whisk and set aside.
- Once farro and tomatoes are cooled, combine farro, tomatoes, toasted pine nuts, fresh herbs, and feta or goat cheese. Toss until well combined.
- Drizzle vinaigrette over salad and toss until everything is combined. Serve cooled.
- This salad is great stored in the fridge for a few days if you have extra!
