Ingredients

Salad
  • ½ cup farro uncooked, Bob’s Red Mill brand
  • 4 plum
  • 3 to 4 lettuce large handfuls of loose

  • 3 tablespoon tahini

  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • ¼ to ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat your smoker to 300˚F and spread the farro on a sheet tray. Place the sheet tray in the smoker and let smoke for about 30 minutes. Once done smoking, place in a pot and cover with water (about 2” over the grains). Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook until the grains are tender; 40 to 50 minutes. Remove from heat and drain off any extra water that might be there. 
  2. While the farro is cooking, prep the plums. Cut around the plum, removing slices as you go. I find this to be a bit more like supreming a great fruit because the pit of plums isn’t easy to loosen. 
  3. After you have the plums ready, combine all the ingredients for the dressing into a small jar. Shake until well combined. 
  4. When the farro is done and mostly cooled, assemble the salad. Place the lettuce in a bowl and add the plums and farro. Drizzle with the dressing and toss until well combined. Top with sesame seeds and serve.
