This salad was a disaster! The farro was undercooked and the watermelon was mushy. I would not recommend this recipe.

This salad was a little too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less watermelon next time.

This salad was a hit at my last party! The combination of sweet watermelon, salty feta, and nutty farro was perfect. I will definitely be making this again.
