Blueberries bring refreshing bursts of sweetness to this colorful bowl. Farro, an ancient grain and a cousin of modern wheat berries, makes a satisfying base. For a gluten-free version, you can use sorghum in place of farro.

By Darshana Thacker Wendel,

Ingredients

  • ½ cup dry farro
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup fresh or thawed frozen corn
  • 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
  • 1 cup finely chopped red or orange bell pepper
  • 1 small bulb fennel, trimmed and shaved
  • 1 scallion, thinly sliced
  • 8 to 10 fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons white rice vinegar
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon toasted pine nuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan combine farro and 1½ cups water. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer 15 to 20 minutes or until farro is just tender. Drain any excess water. Transfer farro to a large bowl; let cool.
