Pomegranate, Chicken and Farro Salad image

This chicken and pomegranate salad is special-simple, yet sophisticated-and never fails to win raves. I use quick-cooking farro, which takes only 10 minutes on the stovetop. Many stores now carry packaged pomegranate seeds in the refrigerated produce section year-round. -David Dahlman, Chatsworth, California

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my salad turned out a bit dry. I think I might have added too much arugula.

The dressing is a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. You could easily adjust the amount of honey or maple syrup to suit your own taste.

This salad is a burst of flavor! The pomegranate arils add a sweet and tart pop, while the chicken and farro provide a hearty and satisfying base. The dressing is also perfectly balanced, with a hint of sweetness and a touch of acidity.
