Instructions

1

Cook the faro: combine the farro in a large pot of water with a large pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook 30-35 minutes until tender. Drain and rinse under cold water.

2

While the faro cooks drain and rinse the beans. Finely chop the cilantro. Halve, peel, and mince the shallot.

3

Make the cilantro vinaigrette: in a large bowl, combine the cilantro, shallot, and 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar. Whisk in 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

4

Halve, pit, and dice the avocado. Cut the apple into ½-inch cubes, discarding the apple core. Toss the apple into the vinaigrette.

5

When the farro is ready, toss it into the vinaigrette along with the black beans. Season with salt and pepper.

6

Plate the farro mixture, then top with the avocado. Dig in and enjoy!
