Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Farro

    In a medium saucepan, bring 3 cups of water to a boil. Add the farro and a pinch of salt. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 30 minutes or until tender. Drain any excess water and set aside to cool.

  2. 2

    Blanch the Green Beans

    While the farro is cooking, bring another pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for about 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop cooking. Once cooled, drain and set aside.

  3. 3

    Combine Salad Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the cooked farro, blanched green beans, cherry tomatoes, frisée, and fresh mint.

  4. 4

    Dress the Salad

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

  5. 5

    Add Mozzarella

    Gently fold in the torn fresh mozzarella pieces into the salad.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the salad chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy!
