Pomelo Farro Salad

• 8.8 ounces fast cooking/10 minute farro
• 1 medium red onion, 1/4 inch dice
• 6 sprigs flat leaf parsley, finely minced
• 1 large Pomelo
• 0.5 pounds Manchego cheese, sliced thin - discard the rind
• 1 pinch salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 cup sliced almonds

1. Cook the farro as per instructions on the bag. For quick cooking variety: on medium-high heat boil a large pot of salted water and then add farro. Cook farro for 10-12 minutes until al dente and then strain. Set aside to cool. Non-quick cooking variety may take quit a bit longer. In a dry skillet on medium heat, toast he almonds until they are fragrant and start to color a bit. Immediately pull from the heat to avoid burning the almonds and set aside to cool.
2. When farro and almonds are cool, assemble salad. First, peel the thick rind off of the Pomelo and remove the segments (make sure to discard all of the white pith and any seeds you see). Set the segments aside.
3. Mix the cooled farro with the diced red onion, minced parsley, and olive oil. Add balsamic vinegar 1 tablespoon at a time to taste (you may prefer more than the 3 tablespoons indicated). Add salt to taste. Mix well.
4. Before serving add the thinly sliced manchego cheese, almonds, and pomelo segments and mix until the pomelo segments are broken down a bit and the manchego has started to crumble.
5. Serve cold or room temperature. Can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator.
