If you have never tried the grain farro, this is a great place to start. I like cooking it using the pasta method. This means you use lots of water and cook until tender and drain, as you would pasta. It usually takes around 45-55 minutes. Farro is an ancient grain with a slightly nutty and chewy texture. It provides a great texture to the salad. The kale and arugula are a perfect combination.
