Ingredients

Servings
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 cup farro rinsed, whole
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 ½ cups Baby tomatoes cut in half (9 ounces)
  • 8 ounces fresh mozzarella ciliegine cherry size, drained
  • 1 ½ cups arugula baby

Instructions

  1. Add 3 cups water, rinsed farro, and salt to a medium saucepan.
