Farro with Arugula and Red Onion

I love cold grain salads and have recently discovered farro, which is basically an Italian wheat berry.  You could make this with whatever grain you prefer, but some sort of whole wheat berry would be best.

You can add almost anything to this dish...  roasted tomatoes, sundried tomatoes, olives, cucumber...  You get the idea.  Don't put too many things together, though.  My rule of thumb is two ingredients and seasoning.

Salad grain:
Farro (cooked according to package directions - soak for 20 min. then cook like pasta till done but still firm and chewy - rinse in cold water to stop the cook - drain)

Two ingredients:
chopped baby arugula and red onion

Seasoning:
olive oil, lemon juice, salt, fresh ground black pepper

Oh!  and parmesan cheese - very finely grated

Toss, add seasonings to taste, serve with something delicious or enjoy all on its own.
