Instructions

  1. Bring 3 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the farro and about ½ teaspoon salt and stir to combine. Reduce heat to medium to maintain a vigorous simmer.  Cook the farro until it is chewy and tender — approximately 15 to 20 minutes for pearled farro, 25 to 30 minutes for semi-pearled farro, or 35 to 40 minutes for whole farro. Drain the farro in a fine-mesh strainer and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
  2. While the farro is cooking, whisk together all of the vinaigrette ingredients (or shake together in a sealed jar) until completely emulsified.
  3. Add the remaining salad ingredients to the large mixing bowl with the farro and drizzle evenly with the dressing. Toss gently until evenly combined. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
  4. Serve. Serve immediately and enjoy!
