Total Preparation Time: 50 minutes
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes

Serves: 6
Ingredients
1 cup Fior di Maiella Organic Farro Grain
1 cup apple cider
2 Tbsp Piran Fior di Sale, + more as needed
2 Marino Organics bay leaves
8 tablespoons Colli Etruschi Chef's Selection EVOO
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup chopped pistachio nuts 
4 cups arugula leaves
1/2 cup fresh parsley
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
1 cup halved cherry or grape tomatoes
2 scallions chopped
Pepper to taste


Directions
In a medium saucepan, bring farro, apple cider, salt, bay leaves and 2 cups water to a simmer. Simmer until farro is tender and liquid evaporates, about 30 minutes. If all the liquid evaporates before the farro is done, add a little more water. Let farro cool, then discard bay leaves.

In a bowl, whisk together the EVOO, lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Add farro, cheese, pepper, and pistachio nuts and mix well. This salad base will keep for up to 4 hours at room temperature or overnight in the refrigerator (bring to room temperature before serving). Just before serving, fold herbs, tomatoes, and green onions into salad base. Prepare a bed of arugula. cover the arugula with the farro salad and sprinkle with the Fior di Sale salt to taste.

Buon Appetito!
