Directions:Bring a large sauce pan of salted water to a boil. In a large serving bowl, combine tomatoes and 1/4 tsp salt. Set aside. Cook the corn and green beans for 3 min. in bolining water. Remove the corn (if it is still on the cob cut off the kernels) and continue to cook the green beans (1-2 min more). Transfer vegetables to a colander to drain, pat dry, and cut into one-inch lengths. Place in a medium bowl and reserve the water. Cook the farro in the same boiling water as the corn and beans were cooked in. Stir occasionally until tender but still firm to the bite (18-20 min). Slice garlic clove and add oil and vinegar. Add 1/4 tsp pepper and vigorously whisk into a dressing. Drain the farro, spread it on a baking sheet, set over a wire rack to cool for 5-10 min. When cool, whisk together with the dressing. Add this to the bowl of tomatoes. Add all of the vegetables, 3/4 tsp. pepper, and toss well. |
