Farro, Heirloom Tomato, And Peach Salad
- 3 cups water
- 1/2 cup uncooked farro
- 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons minced shallot
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup firmly packed fresh baby arugula
- 1 pound heirloom tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch wedges
- 1 cup heirloom cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 medium-size ripe peaches, cut into 1/2-inch wedges
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
- 2 ounces crumbled ricotta salata (about 1/2 cup)
- Bring 3 cups water to a boil in a large saucepan over high.
- Meanwhile, rinse farro under running water until water runs clear. Add farro to boiling water. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer until farro is tender, about 25 minutes. Drain and spread in an even layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper; let stand until cool, about 1 hour. Or place in the refrigerator until cool, about 30 minutes.
- Place oil, vinegar, mustard, shallot, salt, and pepper in a small jar with a tight-fitting lid; attach lid, and shake vigorously until combined.
- Toss farro and arugula with 2 tablespoons of the dressing; spread on a large platter. Toss tomatoes, peaches, and basil with 3 tablespoons of the dressing, and spoon over the farro mixture. Top with crumbled ricotta salata, and serve with remaining dressing on the side.
