We love supporting local producers at the farmers' market and enjoying the bounty of the season, but we don't love waiting in long lines or having to make polite conversation with an artisanal beard wax maker. This dish takes care of that by bringing together bright, fresh flavors like Granny Smith apple, goat cheese, and peppery watermelon radish. This no-fuss salad also features farro, a healthy grain that adds a bit of crunch and protein. Give the hemp tote bag a rest and enjoy the healthy bounty courtesy of Home Chef.

Cook the Farro
Bring a medium pot with farro and plenty of water to cover to a boil over high heat. Boil for 25-30 minutes, or until farro is softened but still chewy (Prepare remaining ingredients while farro cooks). Place a colander (or strainer, depending on hole size) in the sink. Drain farro in a colander and run under cold water to stop cooking. Shake well to remove excess water and transfer to a large mixing bowl along with peas.
-
Pickle the Shallot
Trim ends off shallot, peel, and slice into thin rings. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together Champagne vinegar, sugar, 1 Tbsp. water, and a pinch of salt. Continue whisking until sugar dissolves. Add sliced shallot and mix gently. Set aside to let flavors marry, at least 10-15 minutes. Mix gently every few minutes to ensure complete coverage.
-
Prepare the Ingredients
Thoroughly rinse produce and pat dry. Trim ends off watermelon radish, peel, and slice as thinly as possible. Stack slices and halve through the middle to make half-moons. Halve grape tomatoes. Core apple and cut into 1/4" slices.
-
Make the Dressing
Remove shallot from pickling liquid and set aside, leaving liquid in bowl. Whisk in 1 Tbsp. olive oil to make vinaigrette and add to the bowl with farro. Don't worry if the farro is still a little warm; it will absorb the flavor of the vinaigrette even better. Toss to combine.
-
Toss the Salad
Add radish, apple, and grape tomatoes to bowl with farro and toss to combine. Add arugula and toss gently once more - if the farro is too warm, the arugula may wilt. Taste and season with a pinch of salt and pepper, if necessary.
-
Plate the Dish
Place a serving of farro-arugula salad on a plate and garnish with pickled shallot and crumbled goat cheese.
