Ingredients

1 cup Farro
1 teaspoon Salt
1/2 cup Chopped Fresh Tomatoes
1/4 cup Diced Onion
1/4 cup Chopped Bell Pepper
2 tablespoons Chopped Italian Parsley
2 tablespoons Finely Chopped Basil
5 ounces Fresh Mozzarella, cut into small pieces
1 teaspoon Minced Garlic
2 tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1/4 teaspoon Dijon Mustard

Directions

Thoroughly rinse and drain the farro.
Add 3 cups of water to a large pot along with the farro. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce it to medium-low heat and simmer until tender. About 15-20 minutes.
Drain the farro and set it aside to cool.
Whisk together the garlic, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and Dijon mustard. Add salt and fresh ground pepper to taste.
Combine the tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, parsley, and basil with the farro.
Mix in the dressing and then mix in the cheese.
Serve the salad at room temperature.

Notes

I used Italian pearled farro. Refer to your package’s cooking directions if you use a different type. Dijon mustard helps to emulsify the vinegar and oil. You can leave it out, if you do not have it.
