Ingredients
Scale
- 8–9 oz bag of dry farro (about 1 3/4 cups)
- 5 oz bag spring mix
- 1/2 cup shaved parmesan
- 1/2 cup roasted pistachios, chopped
- 1/2 green apple, thinly sliced

- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 3 tbsp apricot jam
- 3 tbsp white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- 2 tsp dijon mustard
- 1 tsp maple syrup or honey
- Salt & pepper
Instructions
- Cook the farro according to the package instructions until tender but still chewy. Drain any remaining liquid if necessary and allow it to cool completely.
- Wash and thoroughly dry the spring mix. Thinly slice the green apple and radishes. Chop the roasted pistachios and prepare the shaved Parmesan.
- In a small bowl or jar, combine the olive oil, apricot jam, white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and maple syrup or honey.
- Whisk or shake until the vinaigrette is smooth and well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Place the spring mix in a large salad bowl. Add the cooled farro, sliced green apple, radishes, chopped pistachios, and shaved Parmesan.
- Pour the apricot vinaigrette over the salad, starting with a smaller amount. Gently toss until the ingredients are lightly coated.
- Serve immediately while the greens and fresh ingredients are crisp.
Notes
- Cook the farro according to its package directions because cooking times vary by variety.
- Allow the farro to cool completely before combining it with the spring mix.
- Store leftover vinaigrette separately in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
