Farro, Apple and Pecan Salad




Kate found this recipe on the Whole Foods website and although I did make a few small changes to it, we loved it.  We loved it so much that we're taking it to Thanksgiving.  Holiday festivities here we come!

INGREDIENTS


1 1/2 cups farro
2 T olive oil
1/2 medium red onion, chopped
1 large gala or granny smith apple, cored and chopped
1 tablespoon chopped thyme
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
3/4 cup chopped toasted pecans
3/4 cup shaved Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste


PREPARATION

  1. Soak farro in cold water for 20 minutes; drain well.
  2. Bring 2 quarts salted water to a boil in a medium pot. Add farro and simmer, uncovered, until tender, 30 to 35 minutes. Drain well then rinse under cold water for 30 seconds. Drain again, then transfer to a large bowl, cover and refrigerate.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add apples, stir well and cook until slightly softened, 2 to 3 minutes more.
  4. Transfer apple mixture to bowl with farro. Add thyme, vinegar, pecans, cheese, salt and pepper and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately.
