  • In a small bowl whisk together 1 clove grated garlic, 4 teaspoons dijon mustard, 4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, 7 tablespoons olive oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano, and salt & pepper to taste until the dressing is well combined and slightly emulsified.
  • Add the cooked farro to the bowl with the salad ingredients (if the farro is very hot, let it cool briefly before adding).
  • Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Taste and adjust salt & pepper to taste.
