I followed the recipe exactly and the tabbouleh turned out terrible. The farro was undercooked and the dressing was too sour. I would not recommend this recipe.

This tabbouleh was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra lemon juice and olive oil and it was much better. I would also recommend adding some chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro.

This tabbouleh was easy to make and very flavorful. I used quinoa instead of farro and it turned out great. I will definitely be making this again.

I was hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a huge fan of farro. But I'm so glad I did! The farro added a nice nutty flavor and texture to the tabbouleh. I will definitely be making this again.

This tabbouleh was a hit! I made it for a potluck and it was gone in no time. The combination of farro and pine nuts gave it a unique and delicious flavor. I will definitely be making this again.
