FARRO SALAD WITH ASPARAGUS AND PARMESAN
Got this from All Recipes.com and was so good I wanted to share, the chewy nutty texture is wonderful. A nice change from regular green salads, and left overs are even better the next day. The long cook time is mostly just simmering the grains

GRILLED ASPARAGUS AND FARRO SALAD
This superfood salad uses the ancient whole grain farro as its base, it has a nutty flavor and satisfying chew (not to mention eight grams of fiber per serving). To compliment and add texture to every bite, stalks of asparagus are grilled, chopped, and tossed in along with lemon zest, almonds, fistfulls of dill and scallions, and briny feta cheese. Great on its own as a vegetarian meal, this recipe can also serve as a formidable co-star to any grilled chicken dish.

Steps:
- Place the farro, apple cider, bay leaves, 2 teaspoons salt, and 2 cups water in a medium saucepan, bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes, until the farro is tender.

CHARLIE BIRD'S FARRO SALAD
There are two essential steps to a stellar farro salad. The first is cooking the farro with enough salt and aromatics so that it delicious before you combine it with the rest of the ingredients. The second is to use very good olive oil in the dressing. This farro salad, from the restaurant Charlie Bird in SoHo, hits both these marks. The chef Ryan Hardy cooks the farro in apple cider seasoned with bay leaves and plenty of salt, which renders it good enough to eat on its own. But it's even better after he adds loads of olive oil, plus pistachio nuts and Parmesan cheese to make it even richer. Then, before serving, he folds in fresh vegetables to brighten it up: juicy tomatoes, radishes, arugula and plenty of herbs. There are many farro salads of this ilk out there. This is one of the best.

Steps:
- 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 salad bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Add farro, cheese 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 in arugula, herbs, tomatoes, radish and flaky salt to taste.
