You Will Need (11 things)

  • 1 cup fresh Cilantro
  • 1 tsp Ground Cumin
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 ½ cup cooked Black Beans
  • 1 ripe Mango
  • 1 x bunch Scallions
  • 1 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 cup fresh Lime Juice
  • 2 ½ cup fresh Corn
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 ½ cup pearled Farro

Steps (4 steps, 30 minutes)

  1. 1

    Cook the farro with salt according to the package directions, then drain off any excess liquid. Be careful not to overcook – you want the farro to be very chewy.

  2. 2

    Cool for 15 minutes, then place it in a large bowl and add the corn, beans, mango and scallions.

  3. 3

    In a food processor, puree the olive oil, lime juice, cumin and salt. Pour over the farro salad and stir to combine.

  4. 4

    Serve at room temperature (preferable) or refrigerate to eat later the same day. Refrigerated salad may need some additional lime juice, so taste before serving.
