Ingredients

  • 6-10 slices bacon, to taste (it is fantastic either way but we liked it with more, and it is nice to have 1 to garnish)
  • 1 small or ½ large red onion, chopped
  • 1½ cups farro (I used semi-pearled because that is what I can find)
  • salt to taste
  • 1 cup frozen corn (I strongly prefer organic) or fresh sliced off the cob and boiled until al dente if it is summer
  • 1 small or ½ large red onion, diced very finely
  • 2 dry pints of grape tomatoes, sliced in half
  • 2 hothouse cucumbers, peeled and seeded, sliced into half moons
  • ½ cup chopped fresh flat leaf parsley
  • 3 T chopped fresh mint
  • For the dressing:
  • 1 garlic clove, smashed
  • zest of one lemon
  • juice of one lemon
  • ¼ cup white balsamic vinegar
  • ½ t ground cumin
  • approximately ½ cup extra virgin olive oil, to taste
