FARRO SALAD
Farro, an ancient grain, has long been a common ingredient in Italy, but it is now gaining in popularity in the United States. You can use farro to make a type of risotto or in soups, but dressed with a lemony vinaigrette, it makes a lovely grain salad, enhanced by a variety of green vegetables.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil over high heat. Add green beans and snap peas, and cook for 1 minute. Fish out the beans with a spider, mesh strainer or slotted spoon. Rinse briefly in cool water, then blot on a kitchen towel and set aside.
- Add farro to the pot, and cook until al dente, 15 to 20 minutes, then drain and spread out on a baking sheet or platter to cool.
- As the farro cooks, make the vinaigrette: Put shallots in a small bowl. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, lemon juice and zest, and leave for 5 minutes, then whisk in olive oil.
- Season the farro lightly with salt and pepper. Drizzle with half the vinaigrette, toss and mound.
- Slice the asparagus in very thin, lengthwise ribbons with a thin-bladed knife or mandolin and place in a medium-size bowl. Add cooked green beans, snap peas and thick slices of avocado. Salt lightly, add remaining vinaigrette and toss gently to coat.
- Arrange dressed vegetables over farro, garnish with basil leaves and serve.

Steps:
- Place farro in a large saucepan, and add enough cold water to cover by about 3 inches. Bring to a boil over high heat; add salt, and stir once. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer until farro is al dente according to package instructions, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain, and let cool.
- In a small bowl, combine shallot with lemon juice and salt; let stand 15 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small saute pan, heat oil over medium heat, and add pine nuts. Cook, stirring, until they are lightly toasted, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and add lemon zest.
- Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice zucchini crosswise as thinly as possible; place in a large bowl. Add farro, pine-nut mixture, and parsley; stir to combine. Stir in shallot mixture; season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a large serving bowl.
- Using a vegetable peeler, shave half the cheese over salad; toss to combine. Salad can be stored up 6 hours in refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap. Just before serving, shave remaining cheese on top.
