Preparation
- Make the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the mustard, honey, garlic, lemon zest, salt, and lemon juice. Starting with a few drops and steadily increasing the stream, slowly drizzle in the oil, whisking continuously, until the dressing is thickened and emulsified.
- Make the salad: Add the farro, salt , and black pepper to a large bowl. Pour in 3 tablespoons of the dressing, then toss to coat. Add the hazelnuts, mint, apples, and goat cheese and toss to combine. Season to taste with more salt and pepper.
- Serve the salad with the remaining dressing alongside.
- Enjoy!
