Cold Farro Salad - Twitchin Kitten - 06-27-2016 This is really one of those things you can easily "wing-it" with. I use Italian pearled farro and this stuff is a main staple in my house. Easy to make and really good hot or cold. You can find it in your "health / organic" section of your supermarket. calories: 236 per 1/2 cup Serves 5 ingredients: 1 cup farro - prepared and cooled 2 celery stalks, chopped coarse shredded carrot (about 1/4 cup give or take) 1/2 tart-ish apple (fuji, macintosh, pink lady, winesap) handful coarsely chopped unsalted walnuts handful coarsely chopped craisins (dried cranberries) Olive oil Lemon Juice Follow instructions on the package of farro and cook and cool to room temperature. You can run this through a strainer under cold water and then let dry for faster cooling if you want. I put mine in a bowl with some paper towels underneath to speed up drying a bit. Add your ingredients and then throw a drizzle of olive oil and splash some lemon juice  (this prevents the apples from turning brown). You don't want this too "lemony" so go a little at a time. Chill and enjoy! [attachment=155]
