Farro and Arugula Salad with Toasted Hazelnuts & Pomegranate Seeds

The mastery of this simple yet flavor-packed salad comes from a delicate balance of arugula’s peppery taste with the sweetness of pomegranate seeds. Farro adds a nutty, chewy whole grain texture that works well with the hazelnuts.

Ingredients

1 cup farro

3 cups chicken or vegetable broth

1/2 cup hazelnuts

3 cups arugula

1/2 cup pomegranate seeds (arils)

Salt and pepper to taste

Dressing:

1 1/2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 1/2 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon maple syrup

1/2 shallot, chopped

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 350°F.
  2. Add farro and broth to a pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 30 minutes.

  7. When farro is done, rinse with cold water and drain well. Add to salad.
  8. Add dressing and toss well to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste.
