Directions

1. In a medium saucepan, combine farro, vegetable broth, salt, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until farro is tender and no broth remains, about 30 minutes. Transfer cooked farro to a large bowl to cool.
2. To make fried shallots, combine oil and shallots in a small saucepan over medium heat. When the shallots begin to bubble, reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and crisp, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove shallots from oil with a slotted spoon and place on a paper-towel-lined plate. Season with salt and let oil cool.
3. For the dressing, in a medium bowl, combine the cooled olive oil with vinegar, mustard, and honey. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Assemble the salad by combining cooked farro, crispy shallots, arugula, apple, parmesan, basil, parsley, and pecans. Drizzle dressing over the salad and toss to coat.
