Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 cup farro uncooked
  • 3 cups vegetable broth or water plus vegetable bouillon/stock cube
  • 1 honeycrisp apple sliced thin or diced
  • 1/3 cup almonds sliced
  • 1/3 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 tablespoon chive chopped, fresh
  • 1 tablespoon parsley chopped, fresh
  • lemon juice of 1/2 lemon (about 1 tbsp
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Add the farro and veg broth to a medium pan and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes. 
  2. Let the farro cool for at least 15 minutes. 
  3. Meanwhile, prep your other ingredients. 
  4. Once the farro has cooled (it doesn't have to be totally cold), toss with the other ingredients. Serve immediately or put it in an airtight container in the fridge and chill it. Farro can be cooked ahead of time then combined with the rest of the salad ingredients later on if needed. 

Notes

  • I've eaten this salad 3 days after I've made it, and as long as you keep the salad in an airtight container, the apples don't brown much. 
  • Serves 2-4.
