This is a yummy summer salad that my husband came up with. He thought it would be great to have that fresh waldorf salad flavor with some added whole grain to make it more of a meal than a side dish. The tart and sweet flavors of this salad worked perfectly with the hearty farro and we were very happy with the results.

| Farro Waldorf Salad |
Ingredients:
1 cup farro
3 cups water
1 tbsp olive oil
1 granny smith apple, cored and diced (I like to leave the peel on)
2 tsp lemon juice
1 stalk celery, washed and diced
1/4 cup raisins
1 tsp agave
1/3 cup vegan mayo (I am a fan of Vegenaise)
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Directions:
Put the farro in a saucepan and cover with 3 cups of water. Bring it to a boil, and then lower the heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes. It should be firm and chewy when done, but not crunchy at all. Drain off any excess water and let the farro cool. Toss the cooked farro with the tbsp of olive oil. This coats the grain so it doesn't absorb all of the dressing.
While your farro is cooking, dice the apple and toss it with the 2 tsp of lemon juice. Add the diced celery and raisins and toss with the farro. Dress with the agave and mayo and then add salt and pepper to taste. Finally, top with the chopped walnuts.
