Instructions
Whisk oil
maple syrup
vinegar
sugar
and salt together in a bowl until dressing is smooth.
Cook and stir walnuts in a small skillet over low heat until toasted and fragrant
3 to 4 minutes.
Bring chicken broth
farro
oregano
and basil to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat
cover with a lid
and let sit until all the liquid has been absorbed
about 30 minutes. Transfer farro to a glass bowl and cool to room temperature
about 30 minutes more.
Mix walnuts
green apples
dried cherries
and parsley into farro. Drizzle dressing over farro mixture and toss to coat; refrigerate until chilled
at least 30 minutes.
Cook's Notes:
I have also substituted celery or jicama in place of the apple; it adds crunch and color but prefer the apple for taste.
Vegetable broth can be substituted for chicken broth. Honey can be substituted for maple syrup.
