Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked Farro
  • 5 oz arugula
  • 1 1/2 cups cherries, pitted and halved
  • 4 oz goat cheese
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 1/2 cup pecans
  • 2 tablespoons freshly chopped mint or basil
  • Balsamic Vinaigrette

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the farro, arugula, cherries, goat cheese, red onion, pecans, and herbs. Drizzle with desired amount of balsamic vinaigrette. Toss well. Serve immediately.

Notes

I use pearled barley. Trader Joe's also has a quick cooking barley that is great! Quinoa, orzo, or couscous will also work! 
You can cook the farro in advance and keep in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can also make the dressing in advance and keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
