WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS:
We prefer whole farro, in which the grain�s germ and bran have been retained. It has a nutty flavor and delicately chewy texture, and it cooks in only 20 minutes, making it one of the fastest-cooking whole grains. We found that the simplest cooking method was best: Just boil in salted water for about 20 minutes until tender and drain well. The cooked grain may be cooled briefly and combined with vegetables, a bright vinaigrette, and a sprinkling of cheese for a hearty salad. Cooked farro can be refrigerated for up to five days, which makes it a convenient make-ahead option.
We prefer the flavor and texture of whole-grain farro in this recipe. Pearled farro can be used, but cooking times vary, so start checking for doneness after 10 minutes. Do not use quick-cooking farro.
1. Bring 2 quarts water to boil in large saucepan. Add asparagus, snap peas, and 1 tablespoon salt. Cook until vegetables are crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer vegetables to rimmed baking sheet and let cool for 15 minutes.
2. Whisk oil, lemon juice, shallot, mustard, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper together in large bowl. Add cooled vegetables, farro, tomatoes, dill, and 1/4 cup feta to dressing and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste and transfer to serving bowl. Sprinkle salad with remaining 1/4 cup feta and serve.
For Farro:
Bring water to boil in large saucepan. Add farro and salt. Return to boil, reduce heat, and simmer until grains are tender
with slight chew, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain well. (Farro can be refrigerated for up to 5 days.)
