Farro Salad
Serves 6

2 cups farro
1 pound fresh fava beans
1 pint cherry tomatoes (orange or yellow look great)
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup white balsamic vinegar
Italian parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper

Also know as spelt, farro is a light-brown grain grown in central and northern Italy. Combined with fava beans in this salad, it’s a quintessential Tuscan dish.

Boil farro in heavily salted water for about 20 minutes or until al dente. While farro boils, mix the other ingredients in a separate bowl. Drain farro and pour immediately on top of other ingredients in bowl. Mix with spoon. Salt and pepper to taste.
