How to Make It
Step 1
In a large saucepan of boiling salted water, cook the farro until al dente, about 25 minutes. Drain well. Transfer to a bowl and let cool to room temperature.
Step 2
In a bowl, mix the olive oil and vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Add the tomatoes, arugula and dressing to the farro and toss well. Season with salt and pepper and serve at once.
Make Ahead
The cooked farro can be refrigerated overnight.
Suggested Pairing
