Ingredients
2 cups farro
4 cups low-sodium chicken stock
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 cups baby arugula
1 pint grape tomatoes, sliced in half lengthwise
1 green apple, diced

Directions
- Place the farro in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Soak for 30 minutes.

Allow to cool slightly.
