Time 2h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
¼ cup pure maple syrup
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup chopped walnuts
2 ½ cups chicken broth or vegetable broth
1 cup farro
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried basil
1 cup chopped tart green apple
¾ cup dried cherries
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Whisk oil, maple syrup, vinegar, sugar, and salt together in a bowl until dressing is smooth.
  • Cook and stir walnuts in a small skillet over low heat until toasted and fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Bring chicken broth, farro, oregano, and basil to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat, cover with a lid, and let sit until all the liquid has been absorbed, about 30 minutes. Transfer farro to a glass bowl and cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes more.
  • Mix walnuts, green apples, dried cherries, and parsley into farro. Drizzle dressing over farro mixture and toss to coat; refrigerate until chilled, at least 30 minutes.

This cherry farro salad was a hit at my last potluck! The sweet vinaigrette was the perfect complement to the nutty farro and juicy cherries. I also added some crumbled goat cheese for an extra tangy flavor. Definitely making this again!
