Ingredients:

Serving

1/3 cup farro
1/4 cup plus 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 cups water
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp grated lemon zest
1/2 to 3/4 lb fresh mozzarella
1 seedless cucumber, peeled , halved lengthwise, and thinly sliced diagonally
1 oz mache or other soft lettuce , leaves torn if large (about 4 cups)
small handful of basil leaves , torn if large

Directions:

Cook farro in 1 tablespoon oil in a heavy medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring, until lightly toasted, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in water and 1/4 teaspoon salt and simmer, uncovered, until just tender, about 15 minutes. Drain. Spread on a plate and cool completely.
Whisk together lemon juice, zest, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and remaining 1/4 cup oil. Stir 2 tablespoon dressing into cooled farro.
Slice mozzarella, then arrange over cucumber slices on plates and top with mâche and basil. Drizzle salads with remaining dressing and sprinkle with farro.
What to drink:Marimar Estate Don Miguel Vineyard '06
Cooks' note: To help its flavor blossom, bring the ball of mozzarella to room temperature by soaking it (in its original packaging) in a bowl of warm water for a few minutes.
