Farro, Cherry, and Celery Salad

When it is hot out like it is this week in NYC it is important to keep your body cool. I have been living on green juice and salads since Monday. Now some people think "salad, how boring" but I think I have proved to you guys how fun salads can be. It is all about changing up the flavors and using seasonal ingredients.

Earlier this week I shared a recipe for a Corn, Peach and Avocado Salad and now I share with you a salad incorporating another summer favorite fruit, cherries.
