Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups pearled farro
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup sweetened dried cranberries
  • 1/3 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
  • 8 ounces goat cheese crumbles

Instructions

  • Cook farro according to package directions. Drain. Transfer to a bowl to cool.
  • While farro is cooking, whisk balsamic vinegar, dijon mustard, garlic powder and rosemary together in a bowl. Slowly whisk in olive oil until emulsified. Allow to sit at room temperature.
  • Once farro has cooled, toss with cranberries, parsley and goat cheese.
  • When you are ready to serve the salad, pour dressing over the top. Toss well. Serve at room temperature.

Notes

It is important to let the farro cool before mixing the salad so that it doesn't melt the goat cheese. 
You can make this salad ahead of time and refrigerate it but just allow it to come to room temperature before serving.
