Swaps and substitutions

For dairy-free, swap the mozzarella for a firm plant-based cheese or extra avocado for creamy richness. For nut-free, leave out the pecans and use toasted pumpkin or sunflower seeds; for gluten-free, use a gluten-free grain instead of farro.

What to serve with it

Serve this as a bright lunch with grilled chicken, seared salmon, or a simple bean soup to make it more filling. It also pairs well with crusty bread and a chilled rosé or sparkling water with citrus for a light summer spread.
