Avocados, again? Of course!—they are the most perfect fruit ever, in my California-girl opinion! I decided to cut the richness and creamy consistency a bit here by pairing them with grapefruit. It’s an unexpected yet completely delicious combination. Paired with farro and hearts of palm, this bright salad is surprisingly hearty and totally clean.

INGREDIENTS
Salad
1 cup uncooked farro, rinsed and drained
3 cups water
3 cups mixed baby greens
1 14-ounce can hearts of palm, drained and thinly sliced on the diagonal

METHOD
- In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the farro and water and bring to a boil.
