Ingredients

¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
¼ cup pure maple syrup
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup chopped walnuts
2 ½ cups chicken broth or vegetable broth
1 cup farro
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried basil
1 cup chopped tart green apple
¾ cup dried cherries
2 tablespoons chopped flat leaf parsley

Description

Whisk oil, maple syrup, vinegar, sugar, and salt together in a bowl until vinaigrette is smooth.
Cook and stir walnuts in a small skillet over low heat until toasted and fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes.
Bring chicken broth, farro, oregano, and basil to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer for 10 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat, cover, and let sit until all liquid has been absorbed, about 30 minutes. Transfer farro to a glass bowl; cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
Stir walnuts, green apples, dried cherries, and parsley into farro; drizzle in vinaigrette and toss to coat. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 30 minutes.
