Method of Preparation
Step 1
In a saucepan cook shallots for 2 minutes. Add farro and cook an additional 2 minutes, stirring occasionally to toast the grains.
Add vegetable broth, salt, pepper and bring to a boil.
Once boiling reduce heat to medium and leave uncovered for 30 minutes until the farro is soft. Drain off any extra liquid.
Step 2
In a bowl combine all the vinaigrette ingredients, except the olive oil and pomegranate seeds. Whisk to combine.
Slowly stream in olive oil while whisking to emulsify vinaigrette. Add in pomegranate seeds and keep off to the side.
Step 3
Add half of the vinaigrette to the warm farro, toss and let sit for 10 minutes.
Step 4
In a large bowl add greens as the base. Evenly arrange all the salad fixings over the greens, except for the farro.
Drizzle with the remaining vinaigrette.
Step 5
Top salad with the warm farro.
Garnish with goat cheese, figs and pomegranate seeds.
Enjoy!
