Additional instructions

Enjoy a simple and comforting farro salad in just a few steps. Rinse one cup of pearled farro under cool water and place it in a pot with three cups of water. Bring the liquid to a boil, reduce the heat, and let it simmer softly for twenty-five to thirty minutes until the grains are tender but pleasantly chewy. Drain any excess liquid, let it cool slightly, and toss the grains with halved cherry tomatoes, fresh spinach, and a light vinaigrette.
