This is a very nice and hearty fall salad. I added chopped dried cranberries to add a little sweetness and did not sautee the apples. I would have added some feta cheese if I had any on hand. This could be easily adapted with whatever ingredients you have on hand. Sunflower seeds, walnuts or pine nuts could be used in place of the pecans. Shallots or green onions could be used in place of the red onion. Dried cherries or apricots would also be nice additions.

Directions

Farro, Apple and Pecan Salad,Cooked farro has a nutty flavor and slightly chewy texture, both of which are particularly delicious in salads like this one. Use your favorite variety of apple to make this late summer and early fall salad. Sliced pears are a perfect match, too. From Whole Foods. I’ve not tried this one yet.,This is a very nice and hearty fall salad. I added chopped dried cranberries to add a little sweetness and did not sautee the apples.

I loved everything about this version….the apples, pecans, thyme (used dried), red onions and of course the farro. The combinations were perfect and flavorful. I loved the sauteed red onions but next time will leave my apples raw. My farro was tender and ready with about 15 minutes of cook time. Thank you for posting this Whole Foods recipe. Yum!
