Instructions
For farro, bring water and apple cider to a slow simmer. Rinse farro and add to pot along with bay leaves. Turn heat down to low, cover, and simmer for about 25 minutes until farro is very tender. Drain any extra water and remove from heat.
For chicken meatballs, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Stir together ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, pepper, and garlic. Form tablespoon-sized meatballs and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake meatballs for about 20 minutes, turning once halfway through.
For dressing, whisk together ingredients. Duh.
Make a bowl by adding some farro to a bowl with a little arugula. Toss together with a drizzle of dressing. Then top with meatballs and crunchy sliced veggies. Drizzle on more dressing to taste and season with salt and pepper. Enjoy!
