Charlie Bird's Farro Salad

I love to cook! I took cake decorating in 7th grade and have a degree in restaurant management. My husband and I opened and owned a bakery for 9 years. We live at 5000 ft so I can adjust most recipes for high altitude. Succumbed to the instant pot craze after loving my stovetop pressure cooker & am a convert. Love to ski, bike, garden & cook.

1 cup pearled farro (6 ounces)

1 cup fresh apple cider

2 bay leaves

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

½ cup good olive oil

¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

½ cup roasted, salted pistachios, whole or chopped

1 cup roughly chopped fresh parsley

1 cup roughly chopped fresh mint leaves

1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved through the stem

¹⁄3 cup thinly sliced radishes (2 to 3 radishes)

2 cups baby arugula

½ cup shaved Italian Parmesan cheese

Flaked sea salt, such as Maldon
