Make sure you only use superior grade mozzarella for this recipe. You are preparing a fresh salad, so stay away from the plastic-looking mozzarella cube they sell at your regular grocery, and find in your neighborhood an establishment that carries "the real deal".
Ingredients
- 1 pound farro
- 10 ounces organic cherry tomatoes, sliced into quarters
- 1 (5-ounce) ball fresh mozzarella, chopped
- 1 handful fresh basil leaves, torn
